PREFACE 


i\\^tSvP  BOUT  the  year  1825  the  late  John  Redman 
Carpenter,  cashier  of  the  branch  of  the  Bank 
of  the  United  States  at  Buflfalo,  N.  Y.,  with  a 
desire  to  perpetuate  the  memory  of  his  ances- 
tors, took  upon  himself  the  task  of  collecting 
together  the  records  of  the  Carpenter  family, 
and  compiled  a  biographical  notice  of  Samuel 
Carpenter  (First),  together  with  a  genealogical 
table  of  his  descendants. 
This  manuscript,  though  of  great  value,  was  incomplete  and  has  never 
been  published.  It  fell  into  my  hands  many  years  ago,  when  I  availed  my- 
self of  the  opportunity  to  secure  a  copy  from  it,  which  I  have  since  preserved, 
adding  from  time  to  time  such  additional  matter  as  seemed  appropriate. 
Since  the  original  was  written  near  two  generations  have  passed  away,  and 
the  hand  that  wrote  it  has  long  since  mouldered  into  dust. 

After  the  lapse  of  more  than  half  a  century,  in  compHance  with  the 
request  of  my  children  to  complete  as  far  as  possible  the  record  of  the  births, 
marriages,  and  deaths,  and  incorporate  some  notice  of  those  members  of  our 
branch  of  the  family  with  whom  I  have  had  familiar  intercourse,  I  have 
undertaken  the  preparation  of  the  following  pages.  Inasmuch  as  my  pur- 
pose is  to  compile  a  genealogical  record  of  the  family,  I  make  no  claim  to 
originahty,  but  shall  make  use  of  all  sources  of  information  to  which  I  shall 

have  access. 

Edward  Carpenter 


SUPPLEMENTARY 

The  manuscript  left  by  Mr.  Edward  Carpenter  in  1889  pertained 
principally  to  the  descent  in  the  direct  line  from  Samuel  Carpenter,  and  it 
has  been  necessary  to  make  many  additions  to  bring  this  to  date  as  near  as 
possible.  It  was  also  considered  advisable  to  add  the  descent  in  the  female 
line  through  the  Fishbourne,  Wharton,  and  Meredith  famiHes.     In  making 


I^rcfacc 

this  compilation,  much  biographical  and  genealogical  information  has  been 
obtained  from  various  works  and  other  sources  for  which  it  is  necessary  to 
acknowledge  indebtedness. 

The  direct  descent  in  the  Carpenter  line,  the  Fishboume  branch,  the 
Wharton  branch,  and  the  Meredith  branch  are  placed  separately  in  the  order 
given.

SAMUEL  CARPENTER 

HIS  RELATIVES  AND  DESCENDANTS 


ENGLISH  ANCESTRY 

^  OR  generations,  the  descendants  of  Samuel  Car- 
penter in  Philadelphia  were  ignorant  of  the 
locality  in  England  from  whence  their  ancestor 
came  to  seek  his  fortune  in  the  New  World. 
No  clue  could  be  found  among  the  letters  and 
papers  in  the  possession  of  the  family,  and  there 
were  no  traditions  which  had  been  handed  down 
to  help  to  solve  the  problem.  Samuel  Carpen- 
ter and  his  two  brothers,  Joshua  and  Abraham, 
were  men  of  education,  rather  remarkable  for  the  times,  and  must  have 
belonged  to  a  family  of  some  consideration,  where  so  much  attention  had 
been  given  to  the  instruction  of  its  members. 

In  addition,  the  brothers  all  had  money  on  their  arrival  in  Philadelphia, 
Samuel  more  than  the  rest,  as  he  had  evidently  made  profitable  investments 
in  sugar  during  his  stay  for  ten  years  in  the  Barbadoes;  but  Joshua  was 
soon  able  to  build  a  large  mansion  house  on  Chestnut  street,  and  Abraham 
left  several  hundred  pounds  in  his  will  to  different  relatives. 

That  no  word  was  left,  by  either  of  these,  of  the  home  where  their 
childhood  was  spent  is  surprising,  and  can  be  accounted  for  most  probably 
by  the  supposition  that  such  statements  were  lost  and  forgotten  in  the  lapse 
of  years.  In  an  inspection  of  the  will  of  Abraham  Carpenter  in  the  records 
of  Philadelphia,  it  was  observed  that  he  states  that  his  brother  John,  who 
had  lived  at  Horsham,  Sussex  County,  England,  was  then  deceased,  show- 
ing that  one  of  his  brothers  had  been  established  at  that  place.  Lately  a 
statement  was  foimd,  in  the  annals  of  the  city,  to  the  effect  that  the  town- 
ship of  Horsham,  to  the  north  of  Philadelphia,  was  in  the  first  place  prin- 
cipally owned  by  Samuel  Carpenter,  and  that  when  the  settlers  thereon 
went  to  Samuel  Carpenter,  and  asked  him  what  name  he  would  like  for 


CDc  Catpmtcr  family 


the  township,  he  rephed  to  call  it  "Horsham."  This  story  coming  to  light 
made  some  who  were  interested  think  that  probably  Samuel  Carpenter  had 
some  connection  with  Horsham;  and  soon  after,  in  September,  1900,  while 
making  some  investigations  in  England,  Mr.  Thomas  Allen  Glenn  dis- 
covered evidence,  in  the  register  of  the  Parish  Church  of  St.  Mary's  at 
Horsham,  to  show  that  Samuel  Carpenter,  the  first  of  his  name  in  Phila- 
delphia, was  bom  there,  and  probably  lived  there  until  after  his  father's 
death  in  1671,  when  he  left  with  his  share  of  the  patrimony  to  seek  his  for- 
tunes in  the  Barbadoes.  The  register  shows  that  Samuel  Carpenter  was 
bom  November  4,  1649,  and  christened  December  20,  1649,  and  that  he 
was  the  son  of  John  Carpenter  by  Sarah  his  wife. 

John  Carpenter  appears  to  have  been  married  three  times:  (i)  to  Mary 

Somervale,  January  15,  1631;  (2)  to  Sarah ,  who  died  September  28, 

1650;  (3)  to  EUzabeth .     The  surnames  are  not  given  in  the  last  two 

entries  nor  the  dates  of  marriage.     Mary  must  have  died  about  1640. 

The  following  entries  show  the  date  of  christening  of  the  children  of 
John  Carpenter: 

'  1638,  Aug.  25,  John,  son  of  John  Carpenter  and  Mary. 

^  1642,  June  12,  Samuel,  son  of  John  Carpenter  and  Sarah. 

'  1643,  Oct.  29,  Robert,  son  of  John  Carpenter  and  Sarah. 

* '  1644,  Nov.  14,  Sarah  and  Mary  (twins),  daughters  of  John  Carpenter. 

«  1646,  Nov.  25,  Damaris,  daughter  of  John  Carpenter  and  Sarah. 

'  1649,  Dec.  20,  Samuel,  son  of  John  Carpenter  (born  Nov.  4). 

'  1652,  Nov.  18,  Abraham,  son  of  John  Carpenter  and  Elizabeth. 

'  1655,  Jan.  3,  Debora,  daughter  of  John  Carpenter. 

The  following  burials  relating  to  the  family  are  recorded : 

>  1644,  July  8,  Robert,  son  of  John  Carpenter  (born  1643). 

^  1644,  Sep.  3,  Samuel,  son  of  John  Carpenter  (born  1642). 

'  1650,  Sep.  28,  Sarah,  wife  of  John  Carpenter. 

*  1671,  Aug.  9,  John  Carpenter,  Senior. 

5  1682,  March  5,  John  Carpenter,  Jr.,  householder,  son  of  John  Carpenter,  Sr. 

A  second  child  named  Samuel,  bom  November  4,  1649,  was  the  ances- 
tor of  the  Carpenter  family  in  Philadelphia. 

The  above  entries  show  the  children  of  John  Carpenter,  of  Horsham, 
the  father  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  agreeing  with  those  named  in  the  will  of 
Abraham  Carpenter  in  Philadelphia,  a  brother  of  Samuel,  proved  April  14, 
1708.  It  is  stated  therein  that  his  brother  John  is  deceased.  The  register 
shows  that  he  died  March  5,  1682. 

The  only  missing  entry  in  the  list  is  that  of  Joshua,  who  was  probably 
bom  before  John,  baptized  August  26,  1638,  as  his  father  was  married  (i)

to  Mary  Somervale,  January  15,  1631,  leaving  more  than  seven  years  to 
elapse  before  John  was  bom.  The  pages  of  the  register  between  163 1  and 
1638  have  become  defective  through  the  action  of  time  and  other  causes, 
and  the  writing  is  illegible.  Many  of  the  entries  in  other  periods  cannot  be 
made  out,  and  it  is  therefore  impossible  to  read  important  records  of  value 
in  this  connection. 

The  oldest  register  in  St.  Mary's  is  dated  from  1540,  at  which  time  the 
churches  in  England  were  directed  to  keep  the  records  of  births,  marriages, 
and  deaths,  by  order  of  Henry  VIII.  The  following  entries  of  the  Carpenters 
are  found  from  1540  to  1631,  the  date  of  the  marriage  of  John  Carpenter.' 

1559  November  The  same  day  was  christened  William  Davyson  ye  Sonne  of  William  Davy- 
son  The  Godfathers,  Wm.  Tuckeney  and  Thomas  Carpenter  and  Mary  Champion 
ye  wife  of  John. 

1562  June  The  same  day  was  christened  Thomas  Howe,  the  sonne  of  John  Howe  The  God- 
fathers Thomas  Carpenter  and  John  Sparrows  The  Godmother,  Elizabeth  No- 
lens Virg. 

Marriages. 

1565  May  20    Thomas  Carpenter  married  Ales  Fiste  widow. 

1610  Sept.  12    John  Carpenter  married  Elizabeth  Carpenter. 

Christenings. 

1567  May  9    Baptized  Thomas  Carpenter  ye  sonne  of  Thomas  Carpenter. 

1568  Aug.  6  Baptized  Susanna  Carpenter  ye  daughter  of  Thomas  Carpenter. 

1601  Aug.    Baptized  Eleanor  daughter  of  Robert  Carpenter  by  Elizabeth  his  wife. 

Burials. 
1 58 1  Nov.  17    Thomas  Carpenter. 
1598  April  3      John  Carpenter. 
1604  April  28    Robert  Carpenter. 

This  comprises  all  the  records  that  can  be  read. 

There  seems  to  be  no  doubt  that  Thomas  Carpenter  was  the  first  of 
the  name  to  settle  at  Horsham.  He  appears  there  as  a  bachelor  in  1559, 
marries  Ales  Fiste,  a  widow,  in  1565,  and  dies  in  1581.  From  the  records, 
it  is  most  probable  that  Robert  Carpenter  was  a  son  of  Thomas  and  the 
father  of  John,  the  dates  not  conflicting.  The  few  entries  concerning  him 
in  the  register  show  that  he  had  a  wife  named  Elizabeth  and  a  daughter, 
Eleanor,  and  that  he  died  in  1604.  There  were  certainly  other  records  con- 
cerning him,  but  they  are  not  legible.  John  Carpenter  had  a  son  Robert, 
who  died  yoimg,  and  the  name  seems  to  be  evidence  of  the  descent  from  the 
elder  Robert. 

In  examining  the  register  none  of  the  Carpenters  concerned  are  re- 
corded as  belonging  to  any  trade  or  business,  which  it  was  customary  to  do 
if  that  had  been  the  case.    John  Carpenter,  Jr.,  who  died  in  1682,  March 


€^e  Carpenter  family 


5,  is  rated  as  a  householder.  The  Carpenters  at  Horsham  were  apparently 
there  for  three  generations  before  Samuel  went  to  America,  but  no  trace 
has  been  found  of  a  manor  or  considerable  landed  property,  and  it  is  thought 
that  Thomas  Carpenter  must  have  come  there  from  a  line  more  perma- 
nently established  elsewhere  of  an  earlier  date.  Researches  are  now  being 
made  to  determine  this  point  if  possible. 

The  name  of  Carpenter  as  a  surname  is  an  ancient  one  in  England, 
but,  being  of  Latin  origin,  it  does  not  appear  prior  to  the  Conquest.  It  is 
noted  that  the  Domesday  Book  mentions  several  tenants  in  chief  located  in 
various  places  under  the  name  of  "Carpentarie."  At  an  early  date  families 
of  the  name  of  consideration  were  located  in  the  counties  in  the  southwest 
and  south  of  England.  In  the  reign  of  Edward  I,  a  representative  named 
John  Carpenter  was  sent  to  Parliament  from  Leskard  in  Cornwall,  and 
others  later  from  various  boroughs.  In  the  fifteenth  century  a  branch  of 
the  Carpenters  were  located  in  the  Manor  of  Homme  in  Herefordshire,  the 
first  of  record  being  William  Carpenter,  bom  about  1440,  who  died  in  1520. 
After  several  generations  the  estate  was  bequeathed,  in  1773,  by  Thomas 
Carpenter,  a  descendant,  to  his  cousin  George  Carpenter,  then  the  Earl  of 
Tyrconnel  in  Ireland,  whose  ancestor  had  been  created  Baron  Carpenter  of 
Killaghy  in  17 19  for  his  services  as  lieutenant-general  in  the  British  army 
commanding  the  forces  who  defeated  the  rebel  army  in  1715  at  Preston, 
England,  in  the  reign  of  George  I.    This  line  became  extinct  in  1853. 

The  most  ancient  coat  of  arms  of  the  Carpenters  has  for  the  device  in 
the  field  three  cross  crosslets,  which  appear  in  many  pedigrees  filed  in  the 
Herald  ofBce  in  London.  These  lines  were  located  chiefly  in  the  counties 
of  Hereford  and  Gloucester.  The  arms  borne  by  the  Carpenters  of  Homme 
in  Herefordshire  show  the  three  cross  crosslets,  and  the  same  appears  in  a 
lineage  of  several  generations  commencing  about  1300  with  a  Maurice 
Carpenter,  or  Carpender,  Gent.,  in  the  County  of  Gloucester,  and  reported 
in  the  Herald  Visitation  in  that  county.  These  arms  were  also  borne  by 
the  Earls  of  Tyrconnel,  whose  descent  was  through  the  Carpenters  of 
Homme.  Burke  says  that  this  family  was  of  great  antiquity  in  Hereford- 
shire. It  is  believed  that  the  arms  originated  in  the  Crusades,  on  account 
of  the  cross  device. 

Many  branches  of  the  Carpenters  are  located  in  Surrey  and  Sussex, 
within  a  short  distance  of  each  other,  and  the  William  Carpenter  of  Wher- 
well,  England,  who  went  to  Weymouth,  Mass.,  in  1638  and  afterwards  to 
Rehoboth,  Mass.,  and  was  the  ancestor  of  the  New  England  line,  and  also 
the  William  Carpenter  who  emigrated  to  Providence,  Rhode  Island,  at  an 


Cljc  Carpenter  family 


early  date,  came  from  this  vicinity,  and  much  has  been  written  by  their 
descendants,  claiming  a  probable  connection  in  England  including  the  Phil- 
adelphia line.  Up  to  the  present,  however,  no  evidence,  that  we  are  aware 
of,  has  been  discovered  to  establish  this  contention,  excepting  that  a  Daniel 
Carpenter,  of  Rehoboth,  died  in  1767,  and  on  his  grave-stone  is  engraved 
the  greyhound  coat  of  arms  used  by  the  Carpenters  of  Philadelphia  for  many 
generations. 

The  father  of  Samuel  Carpenter  died  in  Horsham,  August  9,  167 1; 
and  Samuel  must  have  left  England  in  a  year  or  so,  as  the  records  of  the 
Barbadoes  show  that  he  was  fined  there  in  1673  for  failing  to  furnish  men 
in  arms,  and  again  in  16S3  for  the  same  reason.    He  had  apparently  become 


THE  ARMS  OF  CARPENTER,  EARL  OF  TYRCOXNEL 

a  convert  to  the  doctrines  of  the  Quakers  before  leaving  England,  and  seems 
to  have  been  the  only  one  of  his  family  to  take  that  course.  There  was  a 
persecution  of  the  Quakers  in  Horsham  as  early  as  1655,  but  the  records  do 
not  show  the  name  of  Carpenter  as  in  the  list  of  those  prosecuted. 

His  brothers  Joshua  and  Abraham  followed  him  to  Philadelphia, 
whither  he  went  in  1683  ;  but  they  both  belonged  to  the  Church  of  England, 
and  Joshua  was  prominent  as  one  of  the  founders  of  Christ  Church,  Phila- 
delphia. 

John  Carpenter  of  Horsham  must  have  been  a  man  of  means,  as  Sam- 
uel, Joshua,  and  Abraham  came  to  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania  with 
money.  The  brothers,  especially  Samuel  and  Joshua,  were  well-educated 
men,  of  excellent  abihty  and  judgment,  and  soon  made  their  mark  in  the 
colony.

THE   CARPENTER   ARMS 

The  coat  of  arms  in  possession  of  the  Carpenter  family  of  Philadelphia 
was  granted  to  William  Carpenter,  Surrey  County  and  Sussex  County,  Eng- 
land (showing  connections  in  both  Surrey  and  Sussex),  Gentleman  of  his 
Majesty's  Honorable  Privy  Chamber  Extraordinary',  by  Sir  Edward  Byshe 
Clarenceux,  March  4,  1663,  in  the  reign  of  Charles  II. 

There  is  a  tradition  that  these  arms  were  granted  especially  on  account 
of  services  rendered  to  the  royal  cause  during  the  civil  war  in  England. 


THE   CARPENTER   ARMS 


SAMUEL  CARPENTER 

The  religious  principles  of  the  early  Friends  or  Quakers  caused  them 
to  refuse  to  render  miUtarj-  service,  to  pay  tithes  for  the  support  of  the 
national  church,  or  to  listen  to  the  preaching  of  its  ministers.  While  they 
inculcated  the  doctrine  of  non-resistance,  they  at  the  same  time  stoutly 
maintained  that  in  matters  of  religion  every  man  should  be  guided  by  the 
dictates  of  his  own  conscience  and  worship  God  after  his  own  fashion. 

The  promulgation  of  these  and  other  doctrines  peculiar  to  the  sect 
drew  down  upon  them  the  indignation  of  the  dignitaries  of  the  English 
Church,  the  scofifs  and  revilings  of  the  populace,  and  the  relentless  persecution 
of  the  government  officials.  The  blood-hounds  of  the  law  were  unloosed.  The

Friends  were  fined,  pilloried,  imprisoned,  and  subjected  to  all  manner  of 
indignities.  But  the  spark  lighted  by  the  preaching  of  George  Fox  con- 
tinued to  spread,  in  spite  of  the  obstacles  it  encountered,  until  not  a  few  of 
noble  parentage  became  enrolled  among  his  followers.  These  persecutions, 
however,  caused  many  to  leave  their  native  country  and  seek  an  asylum  in 
foreign  lands  or  distant  colonies.  Many  emigrated  to  the  islands  of  Jamaica 
and  Barbadoes,  although  even  there  followed  by  fines  and  penalties  for  their 
strict  adherence  to  their  religious  principles. 

Among  those  who  thus  sought  refuge  in  the  island  of  Barbadoes  ap- 
pears the  name  of  Samuel  Carpenter. 

In  a  work  published  in  London,  A.D.  1753,  entitled,  "A  Collection  of 
the  Sufferings  of  the  People  called  Quakers  for  the  Testimony  of  a  Good 
Conscience,"  by  Joseph  Besse,  it  is  stated  that,  "in  1673  Samuel  Carpenter 
was  fined  mo  lbs.  of  sugar  in  Barbadoes  for  not  appearing  or  sending  men 
in  arms."    This  is  the  first  authentic  notice  of  him  that  I  have  met  with. 

By  the  tradition  of  the  family,  corroborated  by  some  circumstantial 
evidence,  it  is  probable  that  he  emigrated  from  the  County  of  Sussex,  in 
England,  to  the  island  of  Barbadoes  when  a  young  man,  and,  being  possessed 
of  uncommon  talents  and  enterprise,  he  there  embarked  in  a  lucrative  com- 
merce, in  which  he  continued  as  long  as  he  remained  upon  the  island — viz., 
about  ten  or  eleven  years.  In  1683  he  was  again  fined,  along  with  Henry 
Wheatly,  6673  lbs.  sugar  for  not  appearing  or  sending  their  servants  in  arms. 

The  Charter  of  Pennsylvania  was  granted  by  Charles  II  to  William 
Penn  on  January'  5,  1681.  "His  father  had  held  great  naval  commands. 
As  Admiral  under  Prince  James,  the  Duke  of  York,  he  had  gained  a  vic- 
tor}- over  the  Dutch  fleet  commanded  by  Van  Updam.  He  had  been  Com- 
missioner of  the  Admiralty,  had  sat  in  Parliament,  and  had  received  the 
honor  of  knighthood.  William,  the  son,  had  been  educated  for  the  profes- 
sion of  arms,  but  relinquished  his  prospects  in  that  direction  by  joining  the 
Quakers."  He  had  been  imprisoned  in  the  Tower  and  in  Newgate  and  was 
tried  in  "the  Old  Bailey"  for  preaching  in  defiance  of  the  law.  After  a 
time,  however,  he  became  reconciled  to  his  family,  and  eventually  obtained 
such  powerful  interest  in  his  behalf  at  court,  that  he  received,  in  satisfac- 
tion of  a  debt  due  from  the  Crown,  for  his  father's  services,  a  grant  of  up- 
ward of  forty  thousand  square  miles  of  territory  in  North  America.  A 
princely  estate  truly  if  we  could  measure  its  value  by  the  standard  of  the 
present  day !  With  great  liberality,  Penn  invited  not  only  those  of  his  own 
sect  but  others  of  different  creeds  to  come  and  occupy  the  land,  with  free- 
dom to  each  one  to  worship  God  according  to  his  own  faith. 


Cl)c  Carpenter  family 


No  wonder  that  the  Quakers  pining  in  exile  or  smarting  with  perse- 
cution should  have  hastened  to  take  refuge  in  Penn's  colony  on  the  banks 
of  the  Delaware,  notwithstanding  its  broad  acres  of  mountain  and  plain 
were  still  an  unbroken  wilderness,  save  only  where  a  few  Swedes  and  Dutch 
had  settled  along  the  shores  of  that  river. 

The  first  ship,  "the  John  and  Sarah,"  with  emigrants,  arrived  in  the 
Delaware  in  the  autumn  of  1681.  The  city  of  Philadelphia  was  located  in 
the  latter  part  of  1682.  Penn  arrived  at  New  Castle  on  the  2  7th  of  October, 
1682,  and  during  the  same  year  no  less  than  twenty-three  ships  loaded  with 
emigrants  and  supplies  arrived  in  the  Delaware. 

Samuel  Carpenter  promptly  availed  himself  of  the  opportunity  which 
the  invitation  of  Penn  offered  to  leave  the  island  of  Barbadoes.  Having 
closed  his  business,  he  bade  farewell  to  its  inhospitable  shores  and  set  sail 
for  Philadelphia,  where  he  arrived  about  the  tenth  of  July,  1683. 

Among  the  records  preserved  in  the  Race  Street  Friends  Meeting  of 
Philadelphia,  the  following  entry  appears : 

Samuel  Carpenter This  certificate  was  read  in  the  Monthly  Meeting  in  Philadelphia 

and  accepted,  which  was  given  him  by  the  Monthly  Meeting  of  Friends  at  Bridgeton  in  the  Island 
of  Barbadoes  the  23rd  day  of  the  6th  Month  1683  and  subscribed  by— Oliver  Hovteer,  Edward 
Hunt,  John  Chase,  Thomas  Pilgrim,  and  several  others,  as  also  by  Henry  Cuner  as  a  Friend  not 
belonging  to  the  aforesaid  Meeting. 

And  in  the  same  book  it  is  also  recorded  as  follows,  viz. : 

Hannah  Hardiman Her  certificate  was  read  at  the  Montlily  Meeting  at  Philadelpliia 

and  accepted,  which  was  given  her  from  Haverford  West  Meeting  in  Wales  the  2d  of  the  6th  Month 
1683  and  subscribed  by— Peregrine  Musgrave,  Francis  Lloyd,  John  Burge,  James  Lewis,  Abraham 
Hardiman. 

Jane  Hardiman Mother  of  the  above  having  given  a  certificate  of  her  consent  to  her 

daughter's  departure  for  Pennsylvania  was  read  in  the  Meeting  and  accepted,  also  it  being  sub- 
scribed by  the  said  Jane  Hardiman  in  the  presence  of — Peregrine  Musgrave,  Abraham  Hardiman, 
Thomas  Ellis,  George  Painter 

Whether  any  acquaintance  existed  between  Samuel  Carpenter  and 
Hannah  Hardiman  previous  to  their  arrival  at  Philadelphia  from  such 
widely  separated  parts  of  the  world  we  have  no  means  of  knowing ;  but  they 
were  married  on  the  twelfth  of  December,  1684.  He  was  thirty-five  years  old, 
having  been  boni  in  1649.    The  bride  was  bom  in  1646  and  was  thirty-eight. 

By  the  minutes  of  the  Monthy  Meeting  of  Friends  preserved  in  the 
Arch  Street  Meeting,  to  which  I  have  had  access,  it  appears  they  declared 
their  intention  of  marriage  the  first  time  on  the  fourth  of  the  Ninth  Month, 
1684,  and  the  second  time  on  the  second  of  the  Tenth  Month  of  the  same 
year.    The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  marriage  certificate : 


€l)c  Carpenter  family 


Whereas,  Samuel  Carpenter  of  Philadelphia  in  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania,  and  Hannah 
Hardiman  of  the  same,  did  declare  their  intentions  of  marriage  in  several  public  meetings  of  the 
people  of  God  called  Quakers,  and  upon  inquiry  made  of  their  clearness,  the  said  Meetings  finding 
them  clear  of  all  others,  and  that  they  had  the  consent  of  their  relations  and  parties  concerned,  they 
were  approved  by  the  said  meetings — These  are  therefore  to  certify  all  whom  it  shall  or  may  con- 
cern, that  for  the  full  determining  the  intentions  aforesaid  this  I2th  day  of  the  loth  month  (called 
December)  1684  in  an  assembly  of  the  people  of  God  afo  esaid  at  their  usual  meeting  place  in 
Philadelphia  aforesaid,  the  said  Samuel  Carpenter  did  then  and  there  in  a  solemn  manner  accord- 
ing to  the  example  of  the  holy  men  recorded  in  the  Scriptures  of  Truth  and  the  good  practice  of 
the  people  of  God  in  this  age  take  the  said  Hannah  Hardiman  by  the  hand,  and  spake  as  follows  i 
viz,  "Friends  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  presence  of  this  assembly,  I  take  thee  my  friend 
Hannah  Hardiman  to  be  my  wife,  and  do  promise  as  the  Lord  shall  enable  me,  to  be  a  faithful 
constant  and  loving  husband  until  death  shall  separate  us;"  and  then  the  said  Hannah  Hardiman 
did  also  then  and  there,  in  like  manner,  take  him  the  said  Samuel  Carpenter  by  the  hand  and  de- 
clare as  follows. viz,  "My  friends  in  the  presence  of  the  Lord  and  of  this  Assembly  and  in  the  feel- 
ing of  his  power  I  take  thee  my  friend  Samuel  Carpenter  to  be  my  husband  and  do  promise  to  be  to 
him  a  faithful  loving  and  constant  wife  until  death  shall  separate  us,"  and  for  a  further  continua- 
tion thereof  the  parties  above  mentioned  have  hereunto  as  husband  and  wife  subscribed  their 
names;  to  which  we  who  were  present  at  the  solemnizing  of  the  said  marriage  and  their  subscrip. 
tion  in  manner  and  form  aforesaid  have  hereunto  set  our  hands  as  Witnesses  to  the  same  the  day 
and  year  above  written.

Note. — The  original  certificate  written  on  parchment  is  in  the  possession  of  the  Historical 
Society  of  Pennsylvania.  It  is  the  earliest  marriage  certificate  in  Pennsylvania  now  known  to  be 
in  existence. — J.  E.  C.     1898. 

Hannah  Hardiman,  who  married  Samuel  Carpenter,  became  a  promi- 
nent and  influential  member  of  the  religious  Society  of  Friends  or  Quakers, 
and  possessed  considerable  intellectual  ability.  Some  of  her  writings  are 
still  preserved,  chiefly  upon  the  proper  education  of  the  young.  She  sur- 
vived her  husband  about  fourteen  years.  Of  her  family  but  little  is  known. 
Her  mother,  Jane  Hardiman,  was  a  widow  when  she  (Hannah)  emigrated 
from  Haverford  West,  in  Wales,  to  Philadelphia. 

One  brother,  Abraham  Hardiman,  also  a  much-esteemed  member  of 
the  Society  of  Friends,  followed  his  sister  to  Philadelphia.  He  married, 
first, .    Their  children :  ( i )   Mary,  who  married  George  Fitzwater  (son 


Cl^c  Carpenter  family 


of  Thomas  Fitzwater,  who  married  EHzabeth  Palmer  in  1684).  (2)  Han- 
nah, who  married  Gilbert  Falconer  (son  of  David  Falconer,  of  Edinburgh, 
Scotland).  (3)  Rebecca.  Secondly,  Abraham  Hardiman  married  Re- 
becca Willsford,  of  New  Jersey,  a  noted  minister  of  the  Gospel  among 
Friends,  by  whom  he  had  one  child,  Deborah,  who  married  George  Claypole. 
The  will  of  Abraham  Hardiman,  dated  August  28,  1699,  proved  at  Phila- 
delphia, September  10,  1702,  mentions  his  three  cousins,  John  and  Rebecca 
Harris  and  Rebecca  Williams. 

It  would  be  difficult  at  this  date  to  form  an  adequate  conception 
of  the  arduous  circumstances  that  surrounded  those  adventurous  emi- 
grants— the  dangers  they  encountered  and  privations  they  endured. 
Nor  can  we  sufficiently  admire  the  wisdom  that  governed  their  coun- 
cils and  the  patient  and  persevering  energ\'  with  which  their  plans  were 
executed. 

The  route  across  the  broad  Atlantic  was  not  yet  fully  explored.  In 
naval  architecture  and  navigation  there  was  yet  much  to  learn.  Nautical 
instnmients  were  comparatively  imperfect.  Ships  were  often  badly  equipped 
and  inadequately  provisioned.  Having  a  wholesome  fear  of  the  Sand 
Banks  of  Newfoundland,  they  sailed  southwardly  along  the  coasts  of  Europe 
until  they  reached  about  the  latitude  of  the  Azores  and  then  westwardly 
across  the  ocean  to  America.  We  read  of  ships  sailing  for  America  being 
wrecked  upon  the  coast  of  Portugal.  The  voyage,  that  in  the  steam  palaces 
of  the  present  da}'  is  made  with  certainty  in  nine  or  ten  days  or  less,  was  not 
unfrequently  prolonged  to  four  and  even  six  months.  Of  the  three  ships 
which  sailed  from  London  for  Philadelphia  in  1681,  the  first,  the  "John  and 
Sarah,"  arrived  at  her  destination  in  the  Delaware  in  a  little  more  than  two 
months,'  the  second,  the  "Factor,"  made  the  voyage  in  four  months,  and 
the  third,  the  "Amity,"  was  blown  to  the  West  Indies  and  did  not  arrive 
until  the  following  spring. 

To  the  discomforts  of  a  long  sea  voyage  under  such  adverse  circum- 
stances, there  also  is  to  be  added  the  fear  of  pirates  which  then  infested  the 
seas.  In  the  letters  of  Francis  Daniel  Pastorius  to  his  father  and  friends  in 
Germany,  published  at  Frankfort  and  Leipsic,  1700-4,  he  thus  describes  his 
fare  on  shipboard.  Having  set  sail  from  Deal  on  the  7th  of  June,  1683,  with 
nine  persons  related  to  him,  and  a  large  company  of  German  settlers,  ac- 
companied by  Thomas  Lloyd,  of  Dolobran,  Montgomeryshire,  Wales,  and 
his  three  daughters  (of  whom  I  shall  have  more  to  say  hereafter),  in  the 
ship  "America,"  Captain  Joseph  Wasey,  he  says:  "Our  allowance  of  food 
and  drink  was  very  bad.     For  dinner  every  noon  we  had  peas,  four  times 


€l)c  Carpenter  ^amil^ 


a  week  we  had  meat,  and  three  times,  salt-fish,  which  we  had  to  dress  our- 
selves with  the  butter  distributed  to  us.  What  was  left  from  dinner  we 
had  to  save  for  supper.  This  food  being  very  inadequate,  ever>'  one  must 
provide  himself  before  entering  the  ship  with  provisions."  During  the 
voyage  they  were  chased  by  Turkish  pirates,  from  whom  they  fortunately 
escaped,  and  after  many  tribulations  arrived  safely  in  the  Delaware.  "On 
the  twentieth  of  August,  1683,  we  sailed  past  New  Castle  and  Upland  and 
arrived  towards  evening  happily  at  Philadelphia,  where  I  was  received  by 
the  Governor,  William  Penn,  with  love  and  friendship." 

Philadelphia  then  consisted  of  three  or  four  little  cottages,  all  the 
residue  being  only  woods,  underwood  and  timber,  in  which  Pastorius  says 
he  several  times  lost  himself  in  travelling  from  the  water-side  to  the  house  of 
Cornelius  Bom,  the  baker,  which  stood  near  the  comer  of  Third  and  Chest- 
nut Streets.  All  kinds  of  temporary  expedients  had  to  be  resorted  to.  Pas- 
torius and  his  companions  were  obliged  to  occupy  caves  in  the  river  bank 
until  the  lands  assigned  to  them  could  be  surveyed  and  houses  built  for 
their  accommodations.  Hannah  Hardiman  and  the  daughters  of  Thomas 
Lloyd  must  have  found  a  rude  exchange  for  the  refinements  of  their  former 
homes  at  Haverford  West  and  Dolobran  in  Wales. 

In  this  year  1683  the  emigration  was  very  great.  They  came  from 
England,  Ireland,  Wales,  Holland,  and  Germany.  Penn  said  in  his  letter 
to  Lord  North,  "Since  last  summer  we  have  had  about  sixty  sail  great  and 
small  shipping,  which  is  a  good  beginning."  All  that  came  wanted  a  dwell- 
ing and  hastened  to  provide  one.  "As  they  lovingly  helped  each  other,  the 
women  set  themselves  to  work  they  had  not  been  used  to  before." 

It  was  at  this  period  and  under  these  circumstances  that  Samuel  Car- 
penter arrived  at  Philadelphia.  Possessed  of  considerable  means,  he  lost  no 
time  in  securing  for  himself  the  desirable  location  which  he  afterwards  occu- 
pied as  his  residence  and  for  business  purposes. 

"Holmes  Portraiture  of  Philadelphia,"  done  in  1683-4  as  a  kind  of  city 
platform,  shows  the  locaHties  chosen  for  building  at  that  time.  It  shows 
about  twenty  small  cottages  upon  the  river  bank.  All  lots  owned  on  Dela- 
ware Front  Street  are  marked  as  running  through  to  Second  Street.  About 
six  or  eight  of  such  lots  fill  up  a  square.  Their  owners  also  had  one  thousand 
acres  or  more  in  the  country  and  received  their  cit}'  lots  as  appurtenant  to 
their  country'  purchases.  Samuel  Carpenter's  lot  extends  from  Front  to 
Second  Street  and  is  the  second  lot  above  Walnut  Street,  No.  16.  (On  the 
Second  Street  front  of  this  lot  he  subsequently  built  the  historic  Slate  Roof 
House.) 


Zl)t  Carpenter  family 


William  Penn,  in  a  letter  written  in  1683  describing  some  of  the  facts 
of  chief  interest  in  Philadelphia,  says,  "There  is  a  fair  key  of  about  300  feet 
square  a  little  above  Walnut  Street  built  by  Samuel  Carpenter  to  which  a 
ship  of  five  hundred  tons  may  lay  her  broad  side."  Gabriel  Thomas,  who 
came  from  England  in  the  ship  "John  and  Sarah"  in  1681,  in  his  account 
printed  in  1698  says,  "There  is  also  a  very  convenient  Wharf  called  Car- 
penter's Wharf  which  hath  a  fiine  necessary  Crane  belonging  to  it  with  suit- 
able granaries  and  store  houses."  And  Robert  Turner  in  his  letter  to  the 
Governor  says,  ' '  Samuel  Carpenter  has  built  another  house  by  his,  and  is 
our  lime  burner  on  his  wharf. ' ' 

The  two  houses  mentioned  by  Robert  Turner  were  built  on  the  east 
side  of  King  Street,  now  Water  Street,  above  Walnut  Street,  one  of  which 
was  the  mansion  house  in  which  he  resided,  and  the  other  a  coffee-house  or 
tavern.  The  lot  extended  from  Walnut  Street  to  Ton  Alley,  the  dimen- 
sions being  270  feet  front  on  King  Street  or  Water  Street  by  198  feet  deep. 
It  was  on  the  east  side  (Delaware  front)  of  this  lot  that  he  built  the  "fair 
key"  mentioned  by  William  Penn,  probably  the  first  wharf  built  at  Phila- 
delphia. It  thus  appears  that  his  lots  extended  all  the  way  from  the  Dela- 
aware  to  Second  Street,  except  the  space  between  King  and  Front  Streets, 
which  last  was  subsequently  added.  I  add  the  following  notice  of  this 
property  by  John  Redman  Carpenter  (1828),  viz.: 

The  residence  of  Samuel  Carpenter  in  Philadelphia  was  on  Water  Street,  at  that  time  the 
court  street  of  the  town.  The  lot  extended  from  Walnut  Street  to  Ton  Alley,  the  dimensions  270 
feet  front  on  the  Water  Street  by  198  feet  deep  (as  before  stated).  There  was  on  it  a  long  wharf 
and  ten  warehouses,  together  with  a  mansion  house  and  tavern.  The  wharf  is  now  in  the  pos- 
session of  the  heirs  of  Thomas  P.  Cope.  The  warehouses  are  still  standing  and  used  for  the  stor- 
age of  merchandise.  They  form  two  rows  parallel  to  each  other  and  intersect  the  lot  east  and  west. 
They  are  narrow  buildings.  In  1828  they  belonged  to  Sarnuel  Wharton,  a  descendant  of  Samuel 
Carpenter.  In  17 19  the  widow  of  Samuel  Carpenter  gave  to  her  son  Samuel  her  hfe  interest  in  the 
northerly  half  of  this  property,  on  which  stood  five  of  the  warehouses,  and  to  her  son  John  the 
southerly  half  of  the  same,  on  which  were  the  other  five  warehouses  and  the  mansion  house.  Deb- 
orah Logan  informed  me  that  she  had  some  recollection  of  the  appearance  of  the  mansion,  which 
was  taken  down  many  years  since.  She  described  it  as  a  large  brick  edifice  of  an  antiquated  and 
peculiar  style,  having  its  gable  and  frontings  on  Water  Street,  with  a  portico  and  high  steps. 

Robert  Turner,  a  prominent  man  among  the  early  settlers  in  Phila- 
delphia, who  emigrated  from  the  city  of  Dublin,  wrote  to  William  Penn  the 
following  curious  description  of  the  progress  of  the  infant  city,  to  be  used 
by  him  as  an  advertisement.' 

Now  as  to  the  town  of  Philadelphia,  it  goeth  on  in  planting  and  building  to  admiration, 
both  in  the  front  and  backward,  and  there  are  about  Six  hundred  houses  in  three  years  time  and 
since.  I  built  my  brick  house,  the  foundations  of  which  were  laid  at  thy  going,  which  I  did  de- 
sign after  a  good  manner  to  encourage  others,  and  that  from  building  with  wood,  it  being  the  first;

many  take  example,  and  some  that  built  wooden  houses  are  sorry  for  it.  Brick  building  is  said  to 
be  as  cheap.  Bricks  are  exceedingly  good  and  better  than  when  I  built.  More  makers  fallen  in, 
and  bricks  cheaper.  They  were  before  at  i6  S.  English  per  M  and  now  many  brave  brick  houses 
are  going  up  with  good  cellars.  Arthur  Cook  is  building  him  a  brave  brick  house  near  William 
Framptons  on  the  front,  for  William  Frampton  hath  since  built  a  good  brick  house  by  his  Brew 
house  and  the  Bake  house  and  let  the  other  for  an  ordinary.  John  Wheeler  from  New  England  is 
building  a  good  brick  house  by  the  Blue  Anchor,  and  the  two  brick  makers  a  double  brick  house 
and  cellars,  beside  several  others  going  on.  Samuel  Carpenter  has  built  another  house  by  his.  I 
am  building  another  by  mine  which  is  three  large  stories  high,  besides  a  good  brick  cellar  under- 
neath of  two  bricks  and  a  half  thickness  in  the  wall,  and  the  next  story  half  under  ground.  The 
cellar  hath  an  arched  door  for  a  vault  to  go  under  the  Street  to  the  River  and  so  to  bring  in  goods 
or  deliver  out.  Humphrey  Murray  from  New  York  has  built  a  large  timber  house  with  brick 
chimnies.  John  Test  has  almost  finished  a  good  brick  house  and  a  bake  house  of  timber.  And  N. 
Allen  a  good  house  next  to  Thomas  Wynnes  front  lot.  John  Day,  a  good  house  after  the  London 
fashion,  most  brick,  with  a  large  frame  of  wood  in  the  front  for  shop  windows.  All  these  have 
balconies.  Daniel  Pegg  and  Thomas  Smith  are  partners  and  set  to  brick  making  this  year,  and 
they  are  very  good.  Also  Pastorius  the  German  friend,  agent  for  the  company  at  Frankfort  with 
his  Dutch  people,  is  preparing  to  make  brick  next  year.  Samuel  Carpenter  is  our  lime  burner  on 
his  wharf.    Brave  lime  stone  found  here  as  the  workman  say,  being  proven. 

We  build  most  houses  with  balconies.  Lots  are  much  desired  in  the  Town.  Great  buying 
one  of  another.  We  are  now  laying  the  foundation  of  a  large  plain  brick  house  for  a  Meeting 
House  in  the  centre.  Sixty  feet  long  and  about  forty  feet  broad,  and  hope  to  have  it  up  soon, 
many  hearts  and  hands  at  work  that  will  do  it.  A  large  Meeting  House  fifty  feet  long  and  thirty- 
eight  feet  broad,  also  going  up  on  the  front  of  the  river  for  an  evening  meeting,  the  work  going  on 
apace.  Many  town  people  selling  their  liberty  houses.  I  hope  the  society  will  cut  off  the  reproaches 
some  have  cast  upon  them.    We  now  begin  to  gather  in  something  of  our  many  great  debts. 

On  the  27th  of  December,  1683,  I  find  the  name  of  Samuel  Carpenter 
on  the  Hst  of  grand  jurors,  probably  of  the  first  grand  jury  that  sat  in  the 
city  of  Philadelphia.  As  an  item  of  ancient  history,  I  extract  the  following 
from  the  Minutes  of  the  Provincial  Council: 

At  a  Council  held  at  Philadelphia  the  seventh  of  the  twelfth  month  1683 — Present — William 
Penn  Proprietor  and  Governor,  Lasse  Cock,  William  Clayton,  John  Symcock,  Thos.  Holmes. 

Margaret  Mattson  and  Yestro  Henderickson  examined  and  about  to  be  proven  witches. 
Whereupon  this  Board  ordered  that  Neils  Mattson  should  enter  into  a  Recognizance  of  fifty 
pounds  for  his  wife's  appearance  before  this  board  the  27th  instant.  Jacob  Hendrickson  doth  the 
same  for  his  wife. 

At  a  Council  held  the  twenty-seventh  of  the  12th  Mo.  1683.  the  Grand  Jury  being  attested, 
the  Governor  gave  them  their  charge,  and  the  Attorney  General  attended  them  with  the  present- 
ment.    [Their  names  follow — ^twenty-one— the  second  in  order  being  Samuel  Carpenter.] 

Post  Meridian. 

The  Grand  Jury  made  their  return  and  found  the  Bill.  Margaret  Mattson,  indictment 
made — She  pleads  not  guilty  and  will  be  tryed  by  the  country — Lasse  Cock  attested  Interpreter 
between  the  proprietor  and  the  prisoner  at  the  bar.  The  Petit  Jury  empanelled  [twelve  men. 
whose  names  are  given.  Then  follows  the  testimony  reported.]  The  prisoner  denyth  the  things 
and  sayeth  that  ye  witnesses  speak  only  by  hear-say.  After  which  the  Governor  gave  the  Jury 
their  charge  concerning  the  Prisoner. 

The  Jury  went  forth  and  upon  their  return  brought  her  in  guilty  of  having  the  common 
fame  of  a  Witch  but  not  Guilty  in  manner  and  form  as  she  stands  indicted.

C^c  Carpenter  family 


As  showing  the  high  estimation  in  which  Samuel  Carpenter  was  held 
at  this  early  period  by  his  contemporaries  and  the  respect  that  was  paia 
to  his  opinions  in  matters  affecting  the  welfare  of  the  community  in  which 
he  lived,  I  add  further  extracts  from  the  Minutes  of  the  Colonial  Council. 

At  a  Council  held  at  Philadelphia  "ye  28th  of  ye  first  Month  Samuel  Carpenter's  judgment 
towards  raising  of  a  tax  upon  liquors,  viz,  upon  Brandy  12  d.  ye  Gallon,  Beer,  Ale,  Rum,  Spanish 
Wine  5d  per  Gallon:  Madeira  each  pipe  50s.  French  Wine  ^£  per  Tun  and  give  in  this  way  looo£ 
by  way  of  customs  upon  goods,  is  his  best  advice." 

On  the  22d  of  the  Third  Month,  "It  was  moved  that  Samuel  Carpenter  be  sent  for  to  be  dis- 
cussed with  all  about  farming  the  Excise,  but  he  declined  to  do  it."  On  the  20th  of  the  same 
month,  Samuel  Carpenter  with  eight  others  attended  the  Council  "to  advise  and  consult  concern- 
ing the  collection  of  the  revenue."  "Who  if  they  accept  it,  they  shall  not  onlj-  be  made  Savers,  if 
they  give  in  a  just  account  but  gayners.    They  are  to  give  in  an  account  here  to-night  at  6  o'clock." 

Post  Meridian.  "Samuel  Carpenter  offers  and  all  of  them  are  willing,  that  a  survey  may  be 
made  upon  their  goods,  and  think  thej'  shall  raise  three  hundred  pounds  more  among  friends, 
that  may  answer  the  thing  intended;  also  that  they  will  give  an  account  thereof  and  get  the  in- 
scriptions to  be  in  lieu  of  other  engagements." 

At  a  Council  held  at  Philadelphia  "ye  22nd  day  of  ye  Eighth  Month  1684 — Ordered  that 
James  Claypole,  Samuel  Carpenter  and  William  Frampton  be  commissioners  to  dispose  of  the 
French  ship  Hope  condemned  by  order  of  the  Council  as  a  French  bottom  and  no  wise  free  to 
trade  or  import  any  goods  into  any  of  his  Majestys  Plantations  in  America."  Sold  by  "inch  of 
candle  to  Barnabas  Wilcox  for  £59  sio  d6." 

"On  the  9th  of  2d  Mo.  1685  Samuel  Carpenter  received  a  Commission  to  appoint  a  Collec- 
tor in  New  Castle  County." 

In  May,  1685,  the  name  of  Samuel  Carpenter  appeared  in  the  list  of 
the  members  of  the  Legislattire  of  New  Jersey  returned  to  represent  the 
Third  Tenth.  A  note  appended  says,  "Robert  Turner  and  Samuel  Car- 
penter appear  not." 

On  the  25  th  of  the  Ninth  Month  of  the  same  year  the  same  body  again 
assembled,  at  which  time  Samuel  Caqjenter  appeared  and  took  his  seat  to 
represent  the  Salem  Tenth,  and  was  appointed  one  of  the  Council.  (Vide, 
Leaming  and  Spicer.) 

At  a  meeting  of  Council  held  at  Philadelphia  on  the  5th  of  the  Fifth 
Month,  1686,  a  license  was  granted  to  Joshua  Carpenter  to  keep  an  ordi- 
nary in  the  house  erected  for  that  purpose  by  his  brother  Samuel  Carpenter 
on  the  wharf. 

At  a  meeting  of  Council  held  at  Philadelphia  on  the  9th  of  the  Seventh 
Month,  1687,  Samuel  Carpenter  was  returned  by  the  sheriff  of  the  county 
of  Philadelphia  to  serve  in  Provincial  Council  in  the  room  of  James  Clay- 
pole  for  the  remaining  time  he  was  to  serve.  ' '  This  day  signed  the  attest  and 
took  his  seat  at  the  Board." 

A  Friends  school  was  established  in  Philadelphia  in  1685,  which  upon 
the  petition  of  Samuel  Carpenter  and  others  was  duly  incorporated.     The 

14 


Cl^c  Carpenter  fmxil^ 


charter  was  granted  by  William  Penn  with  extensive  privileges,  and  names 
Samuel  Carpen  er  one  of  fifteen  trustees  to  whom  the  care  of  its  manage- 
ment was  intrusted.  It  was  situated  on  the  east  side  of  Fourth  street  below 
Chestnut. 

In  1688  William  Penn,  having  received  a  letter  from  Thomas  Lloyd 
requesting  to  be  released  from  public  affairs,  wrote  to  his  Commissioners  of 
State  (of  whom  Thomas  Lloyd  was  president)  as  follows : 

[Extract.]  Holland  House,  England. 

I  am  sorry  that  my  esteemed  friend  Thomas  Lloyd  covets  a  quietus,  who  is  so  young  active  and 
ingenuous,  but  since  it  is  his  desire,  I  do  hereby  signify  his  dismissal  from  office  and  the  trouble  he 
has  borne  (for  some  time  of  rest  and  quiet  at  least)  and  do  nominate  to  be  commissioned  in  my  name 
under  the  great  seal  Samuel  Carpenter  who  I  hope  will  accept  and  industriously  serve  that  Station. 

Samuel  Carpenter  accepted  the  appointment,  and  the  record  of  numer- 
ous deeds  and  patents  bearing  his  signature  as  one  of  three  commissioners 
representing  the  Proprietor  in  his  absence  may  be  found  in  the  books  of 
the  Office  for  Recording  of  Deeds,  etc.,  for  the  City  and  County  of  Phila- 
delphia. 

The  Proprietor,  William  Penn,  conferred  a  "Charter  of  Privileges"  on 
the  Province  October  28,  1701,  and  also  issued  a  "Charter  for  the  Citj-  of 
Philadelphia,"  dated  October  25,  1701. 

Likewise  by  letters  patent,  October  28,  1701,  under  the  Great  Seal,  he 
established  a  Council  of  State  for  the  Province  and  Territories  ( Proud 's 
"History  of  Pennsylvania,"  Vol.  i)  as  follows: 

WiUiam  Penn  True  and  absolute  proprietary  and  Governor  in  Chief  of  the  Province  of  Pen-

(Seal) 

Recorded  in  the  Rolls  Office  at  Philadelphia  in  Patent  Book  A,  Vol.  ii,  p.  154,  155,  gth  Mo., 
14,  1701. 

The  curious  picture  of  Philadelphia  which  hangs  in  the  Philadelphia 
Library,  painted  by  Peter  Cooper  about  the  year  17 14,  represents  as  a 
conspicuous  object  the  house  of  Samuel  Carpenter  as  seen  from  the  river 
near  Walnut  Street.  "Carpenter  Stairs,"  nearly  opposite,  was  a  passage- 
way from  Front  Street  to  what  was  at  first  called  King  Street,  but  which 
since  the  Revolutionary  War  has  been  called  Water  Street. 

"The  Globe  Tavern"  (in  which  Joshua  Carpenter  obtained  a  license 
from  the  Council  to  keep  an  ordinary)  was  in  later  days  called  "Peg  Mul- 
lin's  Beef  Steak  House."  The  late  Colonel  Morris  said  it  was  the  fashion- 
able house  in  his  youthful  days.  Governor  Hamilton  and  others  held  their 
clubs  there,  and  there  too  the  Freemasons  and  most  of  the  public  societies 
and  parties  held  their  meetings. 

Very  little  is  now  known  of  the  foreign  commerce  that  was  carried  on 
during  the  period  between  the  settlement  of  Philadelphia  in  1682  and  the 
death  of  Samuel  Carpenter  in  17 14,  but  it  is  certain  that  a  considerable 
trade  existed  with  the  West  India  Islands,  together  with  frequent  voyages 
to  England.  The  islands  of  Jamaica  and  Barbadoes  were  points  of  frequent 
intercourse.  The  exports  were  chiefly  agricultural  products,  grain  and 
tobacco,  together  with  skins  and  furs;  so  "Carpenter's  Wharf"  was  a  well- 
known  landmark,  and  all  accounts  agree  that  he  was  the  most  enterprising 
and  successful  merchant  of  his  time. 

From  the  time  of  his  arrival  in  Pennsylvania,  Samuel  Carpenter  was 
actively  engaged  not  only  in  the  multifarious  transactions  of  his  own  private 
business,  but  also  in  the  improvements  of  the  town  and  in  the  affairs  of 
government.  Watson,  in  his  Annals  of  Philadelphia,  says,  "The  name  of 
Samuel  Carpenter  is  connected  with  everything  of  a  public  nature  in  the 
early  annals  of  Philadelphia.  I  have  seen  his  name  at  every  turn  in  search- 
ing the  old  records.  He  was  the  Stephen  Girard  of  his  day  for  wealth,  and 
the  William  Sansom  in  the  improvements  he  made  and  the  edifices  he  built." 
His  enterprising  spirit  and  desire  to  promote  the  growth  and  improvement 
of  his  adopted  city  led  him  beyond  the  increase  of  the  population,  so  that

the  depreciation  of  his  real  estate,  together  with  heavy  losses  incurred  in 
trade  brought  about  by  the  war  of  1703,  greatly  embarrassed  him  and  fin- 
ally made  it  necessary  for  him  to  sell  his  property  to  liquidate  his  debts. 

The  following  items  of  real  estate  are  known  to  have  belonged  to  him, 
most  of  which  are  mentioned  in  Watson's  Annals  of  Philadelphia: 

1.  A  large  estate  in  and  adjacent  to  the  town  of  Bristol  in  Bucks  County,  Pennsylvania 
with  saw-  and  grist-mills  and  including  most  of  the  site  of  the  present  town  of  Bristol. 

2.  The  slate-roof  house  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Second  Street  and  Norris  Alley  (now 
Gothic  Street). 

3.  Certain  town  lots  situated  on  the  north  side  of  Market  Street,  Philadelphia,  between 
Fifth  and  Sixth  Streets,  and  reaching  half-way  to  Arch  Street. 

4.  He  was  joint  proprietor  with  William  Penn  and  Caleb  Pusey  of  a  grist-mill  at  Chester. 

5.  A  lot  of  ground  extending  from  the  Delaware  River  to  Second  Street  and  from  Walnut 
Street  to  Norris  Alley. 

6.  The  mansion  house  on  King  Street,  crane,  bakery,  ten  warehouses.  Globe  Tavern,  and 
long  wharf  built  on  the  eastern-most  portion  of  the  last-mentioned  lot. 

7.  One-half  of  a  mill  at  Darby  with  a  large  pond. 

8.  Five  thousand  acres  of  land  lying  on  Poquessing  Creek  fifteen  miles  from  Philadelphia. 

9.  The  Sepviva  plantation,  containing  380  acres,  part  of  Fair  Hill,  in  the  County  of  Phila- 
delphia. 

10.  One  thousand  acres  in  Piles  Grove  Township,  Salem  County,  New  Jersey. 

1 1 .  Fifty  acres  lying  between  the  lands  of  William  Cooper  and  of  John  Kaighn  in  the  City  of 
Camden. 

12.  Six  hundred  acres  on  Timber  Creek  in  New  Jersey,  constituting  part  of  the  Howell  estate 
of  "Fancy  Hill." 

13.  Eleven  hundred  acres  situated  in  Elsinborough  near  the  site  of  the  old  Swede  Fort  in 
Salem  County,  New  Jersey,  and  including  the  farm  now  or  formerly  owned  by  Clement  Hall. 

14.  Three-sixteenths  of  five  thousand  acres  of  land  and  a  mine  called  Pickering's  mine. 

15.  A  coffee-house  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Front  and  Walnut  Streets  and  scales. 

In  1684  Samuel  Carpenter  purchased  from  Samuel  Jennings  six  hun- 
dred acres  of  land  in  New  Jersey,  lying  on  the  south  side  of  Timber  Creek, 
having  a  considerable  front  on  the  River  Delaware.  This  tract  includes 
much  of  the  land  that  constitutes  and  belongs  to  the  valuable  fisheries  at 
Howell's  cove  and  which  is  now  held  by  the  heirs  at  law  of  the  late  Col. 
Joshua  Howell.*  These  lands  descended  to  his  son  Samuel  Carpenter,  2d, 
whose  widow  Hannah  Carpenter  sold  them  to  Samuel  Ladd,  from  whom 
they  descended  to  his  daughter  Deborah  West,  whose  daughter  Anna  mar- 
ried Col.  Howell. 

In  1689  he  also  bought  from  William  Royden  fifty  acres  of  land  situ- 
ated in  New  Jersey  opposite  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  having  a  considerable 
front  on  the  River  Delaware,  being  part  of  a  survey  made  to  the  said  Roy- 
den extending  from  the  Delaware  to  Cooper's  Creek.  This  tract  lies  be- 
tween the  lands  of  William  Cooper  on  the  north  and  of  John  Kaighn  on  the 
south  and  includes  a  large  part  of  the  central  portion  of  the  city  of  Camden.

CORRESPONDENCE 

COPY  OF  A  LETTER  FROM  FRANCIS  DANIEL  PASTORIUS 
TO  SAMUEL  CARPENTER 

Recently  (1910)  a  manuscript  book  was  found  among  the  effects  of  the 
late  Mr.  Charles  J.  Wister,  of  Germantown,  containing  copies  of  some  let- 
ters by  Pastorius,  in  his  own  handwriting,  written  to  some  of  his  friends  on 
various  subjects,  which  he  evidently  thought  worth  preserving.  Among 
others  is  a  letter  from  Pastorius  to  Samuel  Carpenter,  in  which  he  expresses 
his  views  on  the  systems  of  charity  schools,  orphanages,  etc.,  in  Europe,  as 
set  forth  in  a  book  loaned  by  Carpenter  to  Pastorius  for  his  perusal.  It  will 
be  noted  that  there  is  no  date  to  the  letter,  but  in  it  Pastorius  speaks  of  an 
intimacy  with  Carpenter  which  had  existed  26  years.  As  they  both  came  to 
Philadelphia  in  1683,  this  would  make  the  date  of  the  letter  1709.  This 
manuscript  book  probably  came  into  the  possession  of  the  Wister  family  at 
an  early  date,  and  has  remained  with  them  to  the  present.  The  following 
was  copied  from  the  original  by  Mrs.  L.  Caspar  Wister. 

On  the  first  page  of  the  book  is  this : 

Some  hasty  copies  of  letters  written  to  good  friends,  which  nevertheless  in  their  transcripts 
are  much  mended,  and  so  agreeing  with  these  only  in  substance.  Many  others  I  wrote  to  my  old 
acquaintances  in  Germany,  England,  etc.,  and  kept  no  copies  at  all,  but  the  few  subsequent  ones 
I  thought  fit  to  leave  unto  my  two  sons  J.  S.  P  and  H.  P.     [John  Samuel  and  Henry.] 

To  Samuel  Carpenter 

Loving  and  Respected  friend 

I  cant  but  acknowledge  myself  highly  indebted  to  thee,  on  divers  accts,  so  more  especially 
for  thy  generosity  in  communicating  many  a  good  book  to  my  perusal;  and  having  returned  the 
most  of  the  former  with  either  a  couple  of  sorry  rimes  scribbled  on  any  vacant  page  thereof,  or 
small  letter  (like  this)  besides. 

I  now  at  present,  sending  hereby  back  "the  historical  relation  of  the  Charity  School  and 
Orphan  House  etc  at  Glaucha  Hall  in  Saxony"  thought  it  my  duty  to  accompany  the  same  with 
these  few  lines,  thereby  to  forward  the  continuation  of  this  thy  favor  against  the  instant  long  win- 
ter nights,  if  the  Lord  be  pleased  to  spare  life  and  health.  If  I  do  not  here,  subjoin  so  large  thanks 
as  are  suitable  to  the  merit  of  the  treatise,  it  is,  because  I  know  that  thou  doest  not  look  for  a  deal 
of  grateful  expression,  but  art  obliging  thy  friend  freely  in  lending  and  expecting  naught  for  it. 
However  could  I  but  find  time  to  run  over  my  own  itinerary,  I  might,  methinks  make  some  requital 
not  altogether  disagreeable;  first,  I  could  tell  thee  of  many  brave  and  princely  Charity  Schools,  I 
have  seen  in  the  world  ex.  that  near  Naumburg,  at  Heilsbron,  at  Frankfort,  etc. 

Item.  The  several  excellent  Orphan  Houses  ex.  at  Amsterdam  one  for  either  sex,  where  at 
that  time,  have  been  good  and  fatherless  children.  Item.  The  many  Hospitals  as  well  for  sick  as 
for  poor  ex.  that  of  the  Saint  Louis,  in  one  of  the  Suburbs  of  Paris  where  looo  persons,  very  con- 
veniently may  be  lodged;  it  has  an  apothecary  shop  like  that  at  Glaucha,  and  perhaps  more  richly 
stuffed.  Another  at  Ryssel  (which  City  cost  ours  ver>'  dear)  founded  by  Count  Balonin  in  which 
are  indigent  and  diseased  from  the  whole  country,  to  be  fetched  on  a  mule  with  silver  shoes,  always 
kept  to  this  purpose.  Item.  For  Maimed  Soldiers  decrepit  seamen  etc  at  Paris  aforesaid. 
At  En  Rhuissen,  where  Sir  William  Temple  gave  an  alms  to  one,  whom  afterwards  he  celebrates  as 
the  onlv  rich  man  he  saw,  in  all  his  life.

Secondly.  I  doubtless  could  find  one  or  other  instances  of  such  Sacred  buildings,  which  by 
miraculous  means  were  begun  and  finished  ex.  that  of  St.  Sophia  at  Constantinople,  which  the 
mighty  Emperor  Constantinus  could  never  have  completed,  had  he  not  by  an  unexampled  Provi- 
dence found  the  greatest  treasure  imaginable  etc. 

However  after  a  considerate  perusal  of  thy  above  mentioned  book  I  confess,  the  erecting  of 
the  Charity  Schools  and  Orphan  House  at  Glaucha,  commenced  and  hitherto  continued  upon  no 
visible  stock  of  subscription,  but  merely  upon  the  admirable  and  adorable  aid  of  him  on  whom  we 
are  advised  to  cast  our  burden  and  to  trust.  Job  39-14,  is  extremely  remarkable,  and  a  token  or 
sign  for  us  of  lesser  faith,  but  seeing  this  is  a  gift  of  God  we  ought  earnestly  to  pray  for.  I  mean 
while  it  would  be  well,  those  several  plausible  essays  of  John  Bellar,  about  the  poor,  manufactures, 
trade,  plantations  and  immorality,  printed  in  4"",  1699,  as  also  (where)  Tho.  Tryon  proposed  to 
the  Lord  Mayor  and  Court  of  Aldermen  of  the  City  of  London  for  the  building  of  twenty  free 
schools  in  the  poor  parishes,  etc.  Item.  How  they  might  weekly  raise  at  least  1900  pounds,  for 
the  support  of  the  needy,  and  no  body  be  the  worse  for  it,  if  it  were  proportionately  put  in  execu- 
tion here.  Yet  if  all  these  good  counsels  be  disregarded,  as  too  far  fetched  from  beyond  the  sea, 
but  the  advice  of  our  once  beloved  friend  Thos.  Butt,  in  his  good  order  established  in  Pennsyl- 
vania and  New  Jersey,  printed  in  4"",  1684,  have  place  amongst  us.  Or,  finally  in  case  this  like- 
wise be  rejected,  as  the  product  of  a  whimsical  brain,  pray  then,  let  the  laws  and  acts  of  this  Prov- 
ince be  obeyed;  for  that  public  schools  are  of  absolute  necessity,  to  have  the  children  of  the  poor 
taught,  as  well  as  those  of  the  rich.  Thou,  thyself  art  most  sensible,  otherwise  thou  wouldst  not 
have  taken  that  care  about  your  Philadelphia  seven  years  school,  wherein  I  was  concerned  as 
pedagogue,  as  thou  hast  done.  To  speak  true,  without  flattery  which  would  be  madness  itself  be- 
tween us,  who  intimately  have  been  acquainted  about  26  years,  from  the  very  infancy  of  this 
Province. 

Thou  approvedst  thyself  unto  Philadelphia  what  that  faithful  Centurion  (Luke  7)  was  to  the 
Jews  of  Capernaum,  in  building  a  school  house,  etc.  But  to  pass  by  all  whats  past,  schools  Or- 
phans trophies  and  Bridewells  are  still  wanting  in  Pennsylvania,  and  it  lies  at  the  door  of  you 
Commonwealth  men  to  erect  and  establish  as  many  as  you  can.  I  who  as  yet  go  twice  to  school 
every  day  (the  last  of  the  week  only  excepted)  like  that  old  Ludi  Magister  at  Minden,  whom  a 
scoffing  gentleman  asked  whither  he  was  going,  and  upon  his  answer,  to  school,  replied.  Sir.  You 
must  needs  be  a  dull  and  blockish  devil,  that  you  go  yet  thither;  for  I  went  only  to  that  tedious 
place  of  whipping  and  weeping,  till  eleven  years  old,  etc.  Can  contribute  no  more  to  your  endeav- 
ors than  mine  earnest  prayer  for  the  speedy  success  thereof, 

Wherewith  I  ever  remain,  etc.,

Note. — Francis  Daniel  Pastnrius  was  an  early  colonist  in  Pennsylvania.  He  was  born  Sep- 
tember 26,  1651,  in  Sommerhausen  Frankenland,  Germany,  the  son  of  Melchier  Adam  Pastorius, 
a  judge  in  Windsheim.  In  1668  he  entered  the  University  of  Altorf.  Studied  law  at  Strasburg, 
Basle,  and  Jena,  and  at  Ratisbon,  international  polity.  November  23,  1676,  he  received  the  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Laws  at  Nuremburg,  and  was  well  versed  in  the  classical  and  modern  languages. 

Pastorius  formed  the  acquaintance  of  William  Penn,  and  was  much  interested  in  the  Quaker 
doctrines.  His  associates  organized  the  Frankfort  Land  Company,  purchased  25,000  acres,  and 
engaged  Pastorius  to  act  as  agent  and  conduct  a  colony  of  Dutch  and  German  Mennonites  and 
Quakers  to  Pennsylvania.  Pastorius  sailed  in  the  ship  "America,"  and  arrived  in  Philadelphia 
June  20,  1683,  where  he  had  to  live  at  first  in  a  cave  on  the  river  bank.  The  lands  were  located, 
and,  on  October  24,  he  laid  out  the  town  of  Germantown  on  a  strip  between  the  Delaware  and 
Schuylkill.  November  26,  1686,  he  married  Anneke,  daughter  of  Dr.  Johann  Klosterman,  of  Mtihl- 
heim,  and  had  two  sons, — i,  John  Samuel,  born  1690,  2,  Henry,  born  1692.  He  was  the  first  bail- 
iff of  the  town  and  a  man  of  influence  among  the  colonists.  In  1687  he  was  elected  a  member  of 
the  Assembly.     For  many  years  he  taught  school  in  Germantown  and  Philadelphia.     He  was  a 


Cl^c  Carpenter  sfamil^ 


fluent  writer,  published  some  works  and  left  many  unpublished  manuscripts  behind  him.  He  re- 
mained a  Lutheran  until  about  1692,  and  then  joined  the  Quakers,  and  became  one  of  their  most 
able  and  devoted  members.  He  died  in  Germantown  September  27,  1719,  but  no  stone  marks 
his  grave  and  it  is  not  known  where  he  is  buried.

The  following  is  a  copy  of  a  letter  from  Samuel  Carpenter  to  Jonathan 
Dickinson,  dated  "Philadelphia,  4th  of  5th  Mo.,  1698." 

Kind  Friend  Jonathan  Dickenson 

Enclosed  is  my  brother  Abrm.  Carpenter's  bill  on  Richard  Willotts  for  £81.9.9.  York  money 
which  I  desire  thee  to  receive  for  me  and  bring  it  with  thee  in  weighty  money  which  I  think  is  to 
most  advantage  here.  If  thou  hast  occasion  to  use  it  thou  may,  and  pay  me  here  accordingly.  I 
send  by  thee  R.  Willotts  [indistinct]  lest  any  misunderstanding  should  be  in  the  sum  which  I  de- 
sire thee  bring  back  with  thee.  If  he  insists  upon  coin  for  paying  the  money  and  will  have  it, 
allow  him  the  custom  of  the  place,  which  I  suppose  is  two  or  two  and  a  half  per  ct.  So  wishing 
thee  a  good  journey  and  a  safe  return  to  thy  family,  I  remain. 

Thy  friend 

Samuel  Carpenter. 

P.S.     I  owe  Thomas  Wareharn  for the  sum  I  know  not,  pray  pay  him  and  if  he  be  in 

the  least  dissatisfied  pay  him  interest,  for  I  never  intended  he  should  be  so  long  cut  of  his  money, 
but  it  has  been  omitted  through  forgetfulness.  He  is  my  friend  and  Countryman  and  I  would  not 
yt  he  should  be  displeased  with  me  about  it.     My  kind  respects  to  him. 

The  following  letter  was  written  by  Samuel  Carpenter  to  William  Penn : 

Philadelphia,  loth  of  3d  Mo.,  1702. 
Dear  friend  and  Governor  William  Penn. 

I  have  written  hardly  any  letters  to  England  since  thou  went  or  very  few,  and  therefore  hope 
to  be  excused  for  not  writing  to  thyself.  We  have  received  but  one  general  letter  from  thee  by 
Guy  and  a  few  lines  for  myself  under  cover  for  Edman.  I  am  truly  glad  of  thy  safe  arrival  with 
thy  dear  wife  and  children,  etc.  and  of  thy  recovery  after  thy  illness  and  hope  that  the  Lord  will 
preserve  thee  for  a  further  service  to  his  truth  and  people  and  thy  poor  country  and  thy  own  family, 
and  that  thy  enemies  that  seek  thy  and  our  hurt,  if  not  ruined  may  be  frustrated,  and  that  God 
will  give  thee  favour  in  the  eyes  and  hearts  of  those  that  would  drive  back  thy  and  truth's  adver- 
saries, who  seek  our  ruin  to  gratify  their  ambition  covetousness  and  enmity,  which  are  the  grounds 
of  their  evil  designs,  which  they  endeavor  to  eflfect  and  carry  on  by  means  of  lies,  false  accusa- 
tions, insinuations  and  wrong  construction,  and  a  wresting  of  whatever  is  done  or  said,  to  the  ut- 
most of  their  power  and  interests. 

1  have  often  thought  that  their  ambition  of  Government,  enmity  of  truth  and  Friends  and 
the  advantage  that  some  of  them  hope  to  reap  by  the  Spoil  with  the  encouragements  and  assistance 
they  get  from  truths  abroad  hath  and  will  so  prompt  and  animate  them  that  they  will  never  rest 
until  they  have  effected  their  desired  end,  by  which  means  they  have  and  do  put  thee  to  a  great 
charge  and  trouble  to  defend  thy  Government  from  their  present  complaints.  Thou  being  so 
sensible  thereof  by  dear  experience  know  the  better  what  is  fitted  to  be  done  in  such  a  case,  whether 
it  be  best  to  hold  the  Government  or  to  give  it  up  to  the  King  upon  the  good  terms  of  liberty  and 
privileges  to  thyself  and  people,  and  property  secured.  Thy  trouble  and  charge  of  managing  this 
business  in  the  defence  of  the  Government  and  of  our  rights  and  liberties  will  doubtless  be  great 
and  for  my  part  I  am  willing  to  contribute  towards  the  charge  of  it;  but  it  is  so  difficult  to  get 
effects  from  home  thither  (England)  and  I  have  not  any  there  but  am  in  debt,  otherwise,  I  would 
willingly  pay  some  money  in  London  towards  it.    And  if  I  had  so  much  Credit  with  my  friends  in

London  that  would  pay  thee  £500  Sterling  I  would  pay  the  same  there  with  interest  and  would 
receive  the  same  here  of  thy  Receiver  General.  I  have  therefore  writ  a  few  lines  accordingly  and 
sealed  and  delivered  the  same  for  the  use  intended  in  the  presence  of  William  Marrott  Jr.  and 
John  SatchoU  desiring  it  may  take  effect. 

So  to  thy  business  here  and  concerns  of  Government  I  refer  thee  to  James  Logan  who  is  in- 
telligent and  able  to  inform  thee,  only  I  would  acquaint  thee  that  I  understand  thy  title  to  the 
River  Delaware  and  soil  thereof  above  and  below  New  Castle  is  questioned  by  some  here  and  that 
something  to  that  effect  has  been  written  to  their  agent  in  England,  so  that  if  need  be  it  is  well  to 
watch  their  motions  to  secure  thyself  as  thou  can.  If  so,  not  only  the  Island  but  our  Buildings  and 
authority  to  build  into  the  River  are  Hable  to  be  questioned,  tho'  I  do  not  fear  as  to  what  I  have 
of  thee. 

I  fear  John  Guest  is  not  so  honest  as  to  pay  a  penny  of  Westown's  debt,  although  out  of  the 
effects  of  William  Welsh  he  has  received  £300  more,  and  therefore  Matthew  and  John  Westown 
must  send  the  Bonds  that  he  may  be  sued. 

Dr.  Edward  Pennington  was  taken  away  one  of  the  first  by  the  small-pox  in  this  town ;  since 
which  it  has  spread  in  town  and  Country  on  both  sides  of  the  River,  through  mercy  not  hitherto 
mortal.  But  I  have  lost  ray  dear  Abraham  after  he  had  been  ill  fourteen  days,  which  has  been 
some  trouble  to  us  to  part  with  him;  but  it  was  made  more  easy  than  I  expected,  considering  his 
state  of  innocency  and  the  troubles  and  many  sorrows  and  afflictions  both  of  mind  and  body  that 
we  pass  through  here. 

Phineas  Pemberton  died  the  first  of  First  Month  last  (19th  March)  and  will  be  greatly  missed, 
having  left  few  or  none  in  these  parts  or  those  adjacent,  like  him  for  wisdom  and  integrity  and 
general  service,  and  he  was  a  true  friend  to  thee  and  Government.  It  is  a  matter  of  sorrow  when 
I  call  to  mind  and  consider  that  the  best  of  our  men  are  taken  away.  How  many  are  gone  and  how 
few  remain  to  supply  their  place. 

The  vessel  has  fallen  down  the  River  and  John  Satcholl  the  bearer  hereof  follows  in  a  few 
hours  and  I  have  several  letters  yet  to  write.  So  that  I  must  break  off,  and  conclude  with  love  and 
respects  to  thee  thy  wife  and  children. 

Thy  real  friend 

Samuel  Carpenter. 

Extract  from  a  letter  written  by  James  Logan  to  William  Penn,  dated 
"Philadelphia  2d  Sep;  1703." 

I  know  not  whether  Samuel  Carpenter  writes  to  thee  by  this  opportunity  He  has  been  much 
depressed  of  late  in  his  Spirits  about  his  circumstances  which  are  hea"vy  for  he  pays  no  less  than 

•  per  annum  interest,  as  I  judge  from  his  own  information.    He  has  been  very  plain  with  me, 

though  with  but  few  others.  He  begs  us  take  some  measures  to  answer  his  draft  on  Joshua  Grove  for 
he  thinks  he  cannot  himself  do  it.  The  great  damp  on  trade  and  the  sale  of  land  discourages  him. 
Of  the  first  he  had  very  little  this  year.     The  under  taking  in  Bucks  has  oppressed  him  much. 

In  another  letter  to  the  same  he  writes  as  follows : 

Samuel  Carpenter  finally  recovered  .  .  .  has  sold  the  house  thou  lividest  in,  to  William  Trent 
for  £850  and  the  Coffee  house  to  Captain  Finney  for  £450,  towards  paying  off  his  debts  and  so  de- 
signs to  continue  to  the  last  foot  he  has  in  the  Province  if  nothing  less  will  do.  By  these  t^o  he 
affirms  he  has  lost  about  £500. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  a  letter  from  Samuel  Carpenter  to  Jonathan 
Dickinson,  the  latter  at  that  time  residing  at  Kingston  in  the  island  of  Ja- 
maica. The  original  was  given  to  John  Redman  Carpenter  by  Mrs. 
Deborah  Logan. 


Cl)c  Carpenter  familt 


Philadelphia,  31  Decern:  1705. 
Dear  Friend: — 

I  understand  by  Isaac  Norris  that  thou  art  inclined  to  purchase  something  in  tliis  Province 
for  thy  children.  It  being  my  lot  to  lay  out  myself  much  in  this  country,  so  that  upon  the  falling 
off  of  trade,  losses  and  disappointments  many  ways,  I  have  of  late  used  my  endeavors  to  sell  what 
I  can,  to  pay  off  my  debts  and  if  it  please  God  to  spare  my  life,  to  disencumber  myself  what  I  can 
before  I  die,  which  is  and  has  been  very  burdensome  to  me,  so  that  although  I  am  possessed  of 
considerable  estate,  I  am  very  uneasy  and  look  upon  myself  as  very  unhappy,  and  worse  than  those 
that  are  out  of  debt  although  mean  or  having  but  little  of  this  worlds  goods.  My  exercise  and 
trouble  is  greater  in  that  I  find  it  a  difficult  matter  to  sell  though  to  a  loss,  here  being  but  few  able 
to  buy.  Whereas,  if  I  had  such  an  estate  in  other  countries,  I  might  soon  sell  to  pay  off  my  debts 
and  have  enough  to  spare. 

The  occasion  of  this  is  to  make  thee  an  offer  of  somethings  I  have,  viz. 

A  parcel  of  Corn  Mills  and  Saw  Mills  at  Bristol,  over  against  Burlington,  within  a  quarter  of 
a  mile  from  the  River  Delaware  upon  a  Creek  where  a  vessel  of  good  burthen  may  come  to  the  tail 
of  the  Mill  to  load  and  unload.  There  is  at  present  two  wheels  and  four  pairs  of  cutting  stones, 
and  I  intend  another  wheel  and  one  or  two  more  pairs  of  stones.  The  Corn  and  Saw  Mills  on  the 
same  are  nearly  built  and  the  other  Corn  Mills  newly  repaired. 

The  Saw  Mill  is  thirty  two  feet  broad  and  seventy  feet  long  and  stands  on  a  bank  somewhat 
like  that  of  Philadelphia.  When  the  water  is  at  its  height,  it  is  about  eight  or  nine  feet  full,  which 
is  between  thirteen  or  fourteen  in  all  to  speak  in  compass.  When  passed  through  the  Saw  Mill, 
it  comes  to  the  Corn  Mill  an  under  shot  which  grinds  very  well,  so  that  we  readily  grind  and  saw 
with  the  same  water — We  have  two  cranks  upon  the  shaft  of  the  Saw  Mill  Wheel  and  two  carriages 
and  can  cut  with  one  Saw  about  seven  or  eight  hundred  feet  of  inch  boards  and  more,  sometimes 
when  the  water  is  high,  timber  good  and  well  followed,  viz,  one  thousand  or  more.  With  two 
Saws  she  will  cut  twelve  or  fifteen  hundred  feet  a  day,  or  in  twelve  hours  or  somewhat  less. 

There  is  belonging  to  these  Mills  a  pretty  supply  of  water  and  a  constant  supply  to  the  Corn 
MiUs  at  the  latter  end  of  Summer.  Last  summer  and  the  summer  and  winter  before  we  wanted 
water  all  the  latter  end  of  the  summer,  but  now  we  have  and  are  likely  to  have  enough  for  the 
Corn  Mills.  We  have  a  large  pond  covering  two  or  three  hundred  acres  of  ground  which  is  a  great 
benefit  to  the  Mills.  Hitherto  we  have  not  had  full  experience  of  what  quantity  of  water  we  had 
yearly  for  the  Saw  Mills  but  suppose  we  may  have  enough  to  saw  Six  months  in  the  year  at  least, 
it  may  be  eight  Months  or  more  in  which  we  may  saw  150,000  or  200,000  feet  as  the  water  may 
continue.  I  suppose  the  profits  or  earnings  from  the  saw  Mill  may  be  £400  per  annum  and  from 
the  Corn  Mills,  now  Corn  is  low,  £250,  which  is  £6go  out  of  which  take  one  third  for  tending  £220 
and  £30  for  charges,  beside,  their  remains  £400,  the  interest  of  £5000. 

Besides  which  I  have  a  considerable  of  lands  and  town  lots  adjacent  and  two  Islands  the 
whole  being  about  2000  acres.  350  acres  of  which  may  be  made  meadow.  At  present  there  may  be 
twenty  or  thirty  acres  beside  considerable  improvements.  A  considerable  quantity  may  be  watered 
from  the  pond  and  will  make  good  meadow,  being  below  the  water  to  the  quantity  of  fifty  or  one 
liundred  acres.  There  is  a  considerable  quantity  of  white  oak  timber  upon  part  of  the  land  to 
accommodate  the  Saw  Mill  for  which  I  bought  the  lands  on  which  it  stands  and  though  most  of 
it  is  three  miles  from  the  Mills  it  may  with  a  reasonable  charge  by  making  another  pond  be  floated 
down  two  and  a  half  miles  through  the  ponds  to  the  Mills  at  a  small  charge  for  land  carriage.  I 
cannot  give  an  account  of  the  quantity,  but  I  have  not  met  a  finer  parcel  in  my  travels,  and  may 
moderately  compute  it  to  make  several  thousand  pounds  when  cut  into  ships  planks  and  scantlings. 

The  Mills  lie  well  for  both  Oak  and  Pine  to  be  floated  to  the  trail  of  them,  both  up  and  down 
the  river.  So  that  there  is  no  danger  but  that  timber  may  be  had  in  time  to  come  to  employ  the 
Mills.  Hitherto  I  have  cut  no  timber,  but  had  it  from  Timber  Creek  New  Jersey  of  my  own  lands. 
Pine  timber  I  mean  and  Oak  from  my  land  adjacent  to  the  Mills,  but  doubt-less  it  may  be  bought 
for  the  Saw  Mill  as  well  as  to  supply  Philadelphia  with  great  quantities  as  has  been  and  is  now  the 
case  more  than  ever.

The  next  material  conveniency  to  the  Mill,  is  that  it  stands  in  a  town  and  is  but  one  and 
one  quarter  miles  from  Burlington  and  about  twenty  miles  from  Philadelphia  and  the  Corn  Mills 
well  customed.  The  said  town  and  country  adjacent  and  Pliiladelphia,  will  take  the  boards  and 
scantling  for  housework,  ships  and  joiners.  We  sold  one  inch  cords  at  the  Mill  at  8d  per  hundred 
at  which  rate  we  have  4.S.  per  hundred  for  cutting.  I  believe  that  if  thou  wast  here  thou  would 
like  it  as  well  as  any  thou  may  find  in  the  country.  For  good  Mills  of  both  sorts  with  land  and 
meadow  situations  and  all  things  considered  there  is  not  the  like  in  these  parts.  The  Islands  front 
about  one  and  a  half  miles  on  the  river  and  lie  so  that  we  have  off  one  and  off  the  other  and  may 
have  a  convenient  road,  and  may  in  a  short  time  raise  considerable  stock  and  cattle  and  sheep 
thereon.  There  are  three  or  four  houses  and  orchards  thereto  belonging  for  tenaments  which  will 
bring  some  yearly  profit.  There  are  also  town  lots  and  lands  of  considerable  value,  and  very  little 
land  in  and  about  the  town  (Bristol),  but  mine  which  is  in  and  near  the  town  is  valuable  and  likely 
to  be  more  so.  Lots  have  been  sold  there  some  at  £100  and  some  at  about  two  hundred  pounds 
the  acre. 

And  as  for  meadow  there  is  none  except  what  I  have,  so  what  can  be  spared  may  be  readily 
sold  at  good  rates.  Because  I  am,  as  I  said  before,  much  in  debt  I  would  sell  the  whole  or  one  half 
as  thou  pleasest.  I  believe  it  stands  me  in  about  £5000  being  beside  the  yearly  income  of  the 
Mills  a  growing  estate,  with  respect  to  the  lands  and  town  lots  improvements  of  meadows,  but 
being  under  necessity  I  would  sell  to  loss  rather  than  miss  so  good  a  chapman  and  partner  as  thy- 
self. I  desire  thee  consider  of  it  and  if  thou  hast  any  intention  thou  may  write  to  some  friends  to 
view  and  learn  the  value  of  these  things  which  I  think  may  be  understood  without  much  difficulty. 
The  largest  of  the  above  Islands  is  about  a  mile  in  length  and  half  a  mile  in  breadth.  I  suppose 
that  it  may  contain  three  hundred  acres  of  which  there  is  near  one  hundred  acres  of  upland;  the 
rest  is  swamp  and  cripple  that  high  tides  flow  over,  and  may  with  a  moderate  charge  be  made  dry 
and  become  good  meadow.  I  have  thought  of  stopping  a  Creek  that  I  suppose  will  lay  dry  one 
hundred  acres  of  it.  There  is  a  fine  Mulberry  walk  and  Orchard  and  a  tenement  upon  it.  A  very 
pleasant  place,  just  against  the  High  Street  of  Burlington  and  hardly  half  a  mile  over  the  River. 

I  am  willing  to  sell  that  one  half  with  the  rest  or  without.  I  have  also  about  5000  acres  of 
land  fourteen  or  fifteen  miles  from  Philadelphia  and  the  like  distance  from  Bristol,  and  eleven  or 
twelve  miles  from  the  River  Delaware  at  Poquessin  Creek — about  four  miles  from  North  Wales 
as  much  from  Southampton,  and  settlements  near.  The  land  is  good  and  well  situated  which 
should  sell  also;  or  I  would  sell  my  house  and  granary  on  the  wharf  where  I  lived  last,  and  the 
wharf  and  ware  houses  adjacent.  Also  the  Globe  Tavern  and  Long  Vault,  and  several  other  lands. 
I  have  two  fifteenths  of  5000  acres  of  land  and  the  mine  that  was  called  Pickering's  Mine  which 
I  will  sell  also — I  have  sold  Elsinborough  to  Esther  Moore,  since  deceased,  and  my  house  and  lot 
over  against  D.  Lloyds  to  William  Trent,  and  the  Scales  to  Henry  Bubcock  and  some  other  things, 
and  the  Coffee  house  to  Captain  Finley.  My  half  of  Darby  Mills  I  have  sold  to  John  Bethel  and 
his  son  Henry  Morley,  and  to  Caleb  Pusey  one  half  of  Chester  Mills.  I  shall  not  trouble  thee  any 
further  with  these  things,  and  conclude  with  mine  and  ray  wife's  love  to  thee  and  them 

Thy  real  friend, 

Samuel  Carpenter, 

In  a  subsequent  letter  to  Jonathan  Dickinson,  dated  3d  of  loth  Month, 
1706,  Samuel  Carpenter  mentions  that  he  had  sold  four  acres  of  land  in 
Bristol  to  the  Society  of  Friends  for  a  meeting-house  and  burial-ground, 
and  that  he  had  granted  to  the  county  of  Bucks  100  feet  square  for  a  court- 
house agreeable  to  Act  of  Assembly. 

The  house  which  Samuel  Carpenter  mentions  as  sold  to  William  Trent 
was  the  ancient  building  (built  about  1698)  that  formerly  stood  at  the  south- 

23 


C^c  Carpenter  family 


east  comer  of  Second  Street  and  Norris  Alley  (now  Gothic  Street).  I  copy 
the  following  description  of  this  house  from  the  manuscript  of  J.  R.  Carpen- 
ter (1828). 

It  has  always  been  known  as  the  Slate  House,  from  the  circumstance  of  the  roof  having  been 
covered  with  slate  long  before  any  other  building  in  the  infant  city  of  Philadelphia  had  a  similar 
covering.  Its  dimensions  are  about  forty-five  feet  front  by  fifty-five  feet  deep.  It  is  of  brick,  two 
stories  in  height,  with  large  projecting  eaves  and  a  square  turret  at  each  of  the  front  corners;  these 
were  subsequently  concealed  by  a  wooden  front  which  had  been  placed  between  thera  so  as  to 
enlarge  the  interior  of  the  building  by  filling  up  the  recess  which  they  formed.  Within,  but  few 
alterations  have  been  made  and  these  do  not  conceal  the  original  arrangement  of  the  apartments. 
In  the  centre  of  the  front  may  still  be  seen  the  Gothic  arched  door-way,  opening  into  a  narrow 
entry  which  is  rendered  curious  by  heavy  old-fashioned  wainscoting  and  which  communicates  with 
the  principal  rooms  below  stairs. 

From  these  you  pass  into  the  smaller  rooms  within  the  turrets,  which  were  perhaps  intended 
for  offices  or  studies.  It  is  not  many  years  since  the  diamond-shaped  sash  still  remained  in  some 
of  the  windows;  at  present,  however,  they  are  all  of  modern  construction.  What  renders  the  origi- 
nal appearance  worthy  of  some  attention  is  the  fact  that  James  Logan  in  one  of  his  letters  to  Penn 
speaks  of  it  as  the  choicest  house  for  a  Governor  in  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania,  and  strongly 
urges  him  to  purchase  it  for  that  purpose. 

It  was  occupied  by  William  Penn  as  his  residence  during  the  whole  of  his  last  visit  to  Phila- 
delphia, excepting  about  one  month  immediately  after  his  arrival,  which  he  passed  with  his  friend 
Edward  Shippen,  and  in  it  his  eldest  son  John  Penn  was  born. 

Samuel  Carpenter  sold  this  house  at  a  considerable  loss  for  £800  to  William  Trent,  the 
founder  of  the  city  of  Trenton,  New  Jersey,  who  in  1709  offered  it  for  sale  asking  £900  for  it,  still 
deemed  the  cheapest  house  in  the  city.  From  William  Trent  it  passed  to  Isaac  Norris,  and  is 
now  (1828)  the  property  of  his  descendant  Sarah  Norris  Dickinson,  daughter  of  the  celebrated 
Governor  Dickinson. 

In  the  year  1764,  and  for  some  years  subsequently,  this  building  was 
occupied  as  a  boarding-house  by  the  mother  of  Alexander  Graydon,  author 
of  a  work  called  ' '  Memoirs  of  a  Life  Chiefly  Spent  in  Pennsylvania. ' '  He 
describes  the  house  and  some  of  its  inmates,  it  being  then  the  most  genteel 
establishment  of  the  kind  in  Philadelphia.  It  was  occupied  by  officers  of 
the  Forty-second  Regiment,  as  also  by  those  of  the  Royal  Irish.  Baron  de- 
Kalb,  a  German  officer  in  the  United  States  army  who  fell  a  major-general 
at  the  battle  of  Camden,  and  Sir  William  Draper,  the  antagonist  of  the  cele- 
brated Junius,  with  other  distinguished  gentlemen  of  that  period,  are  men- 
tioned as  having  their  lodgings  there.    General  Forbes  died  there. 

"The  Annals  of  Philadelphia,"  by  John  F.  Watson,  contains  some  ad- 
ditional particulars  relating  to  this  ancient  edifice,  together  with  a  plate 
exhibiting  its  orig'na  appearance.  It  was  allowed  to  remain  in  the  same 
condition  until  1867,  when  it  was  taken  down  and  the  present  Chamber  of 
Commerce  erected  upon  the  site  where  it  stood. 

For  the  coffee-house  Samuel  Carpenter  received  £450.  There  is  some 
doubt  as  to  the  precise  location  of  this  first  established  Exchange  of  Phila- 

24

delphia.  There  is,  however,  strong  traditional  reason  to  beheve  that  it  stood 
on  the  northeast  comer  of  Front  and  Walnut  Streets.  John  R.  Carpenter 
sa^'s,  "the  venerable  Samuel  Coates  assured  me  that  he  was  so  told  by  his 
predecessors."  The  opinion  is  strengthened  by  the  fact  that  the  ground  upon 
which  it  stood  was  once  owned  by  Samuel  Carpenter,  whose  lot  extended 
from  the  Delaware  all  the  way  through  to  Second  Street  and  from  Walnut 
Street  to  Norris  Alley  as  before  stated.  On  the  west  side  of  Front  Street 
within  those  limits  a  row  of  houses  was  still  standing  in  1828  which  was 
erected  by  him. 

The  long  vault  was  probably  a  store-house  formed  by  excavating  the 
river  bank  before  William  Penn  permitted  any  houses  to  be  built  upon  that 
portion  of  the  city  plot,  viz.,  between  the  east  side  of  Front  Street  and  the 
west  side  of  Water  Street. 

Samuel  Carpenter  owned  lots  upon  Market  Street.  The  three-storied 
building  that  formerly  stood  at  the  southeast  comer  of  Front  and  Market 
Streets  was  erected  by  him. 

He  gave  to  the  Society  of  Friends  the  ground  near  Second  Street  on 
which  the  old  Market  Street  Meeting  House  stood.  The  Darby  Mills  in  all 
probability  occupied  the  same  site  on  Darby  Creek  on  which  the  Oakford 
Mills  afterwards  stood.  John  F.  Watson  visited  the  site  of  the  Chester 
Mills  many  years  ago,  at  which  time  some  of  the  timbers  could  still  be  seen 
in  the  water.  Its  machinery  was  imported  from  England  by  Richard  Town- 
send,  a  distinguished  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends.  After  him  the  mill 
was  owned  as  joint  property  by  William  Penn,  Samuel  Carpenter,  and  Caleb 
Pusey.  Watson  found  among  the  rubbish  in  the  garret  of  an  old  house  in 
the  vicinity  the  original  vane  of  the  mill.  This  vane  is  now  in  the  possession 
of  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania.  It  is  of  iron  and  bears  upon  it 
the  initials  of  the  owners'  names : 


The  following  extract  is  from  a  letter  written  by  Jonathan  Dickinson 
to  Samuel  Preston,  asking  his  advice  and  that  of  his  brother-in-law, 
Isaac  Norris,  in  relation  to  the  estate  near  Bristol,  Pa.,  offered  by 
Samuel  Carpenter  to  Jonathan  Dickinson  in  his  letter  of  31st  of 
December,    1705.

Dear  Samuel  in  my  last  to  thee  I  mentioned  that  our  very  good  friend  Samuel  Carpenter 
had  proposed  in  regard  to  one  half  of  his  interest  at  New  Bristol.  I  cannot  doubt  his  sincerity 
in  the  least  but  in  buying  and  selling  the  case  lays  wide  on  each  part.  Thy  opinion  of  judgment

pleased  to  favour  me  with  thy  judgment,  I  shall  depend  upon  as  well  as  thy  brothers.  If  in  the 
multitude  of  councillors  there  is  safety  I  must  rest  upon  my  friends,  I  am 

Thy  obliged  and  affectionate  friend 

JON.\THAN  Dickinson. 

Many  of  the  early  Friends  whose  names  are  mentioned  in  the  history-  of 
Philadelphia,  prominent  in  the  societ}'  and  in  the  affairs  of  government  in 
those  days,  emigrated  from  the  West  Indies,  whither  they  had  fled  to  avoid 
the  persecutions  to  which  they  had  been  subjected  in  their  own  country,  as 
has  been  before  stated.  Some  of  them  were  men  of  large  means  and  became 
the  owners  of  large  tracts  of  land  in  and  adjacent  to  the  city,  which  by  the 
increase  of  the  population  and  spread  of  improvements  afterwards 
became  of  great  value,  and  secured  their  descendants  in  affluence  for 
generations. 

Jonathan  Dickinson,  who  is  mentioned  in  this  correspondence,  resided 
in  the  island  of  Jamaica,  where  he  owned  large  estates.  Being  of  a  cautious 
and  prudent  temperament,  when  he  decided  to  emigrate  and  to  take  up  his 
residence  in  Philadelphia,  he  ver>'  naturally  became  solicitous  about  a  safe 
and  profitable  investment  for  his  money.  He  eventually,  though  with  many 
misgivings,  purchased  a  large  tract  in  the  Northern  Liberties,  which  de- 
scended to  his  daughter  Hannah,  the  wiie  of  Thomas  Masters,  known  as 
the  Master  Estate. 

Isaac  Norris,  in  the  following  letter,  gives  his  opinion  of  the  Bristol 
property  and  the  proposed  purchase  of  one-half  interest  in  it,  viz. : 

Philadelphia  the  3d  June  1706. 
Dear  Friend  Jonathan  Dickinson. 

In  thine  of  the  15th  thou  hints  somewhat  of  ha\-ing  written  Bro.  Preston  and  self  for  our 
advice  or  opinion  concerning  Samuel  Carpenter's  Mills  and  other  Conveniences  near  Bristol;  but 
that  letter  never  came  to  hand.  It  is  a  thing  of  considerable  importance.  You  are  both  my  good 
friends,  and  if  my  judgment  which  is  not  of  the  best  in  this  kind  of  things  should  fail,  I  am  in  danger 
of  Scylla  and  Charybidis. 

Thus  much  I  venture  to  say:  'Tis  well  designed — There  is  foundation  and  prospect  of  a 
growing  and  noble  estate  unless  any  contrary  Providence  should  intervene  and  tho'  there  is  to 
keep  up  and  erect  improvements  a  necessity  of  constant  outlay,  yet  there  is  some  constant  income 
from  it;  but  on  the  other  hand  it  must  be  in  good  hands  as  to  will,  skill  and  ability  or  it  may  sink. 
A  man  yt  has  it  ought  not  to  want  his  stock  out  of  it  nor  too  much  depend  on  the  immediate  ad- 
vantage. 

Upon  the  whole  I  cannot  think  the  price  set  on  it  by  him  much  too  large  and  think  Samuel 
has  not  near  his  cost  in  it,  and  considering  Samuel's  circumstances  the  thing  may  be  at  present 

26 


'^l^t  Carpenter  ;familv 


somewhat  too  heavy  for  him,  and  an  honest  cheerful  and  able  partner  may  cheer  and  quicken  him 
so  it  may  carry  on  the  estate  with  vigor  and  to  good  advantage  having  very  good  grounds  to  expect 
a  settled  and  growing  interest  if  an>-thing  in  these  parts  is  such.  So  yt  everything  considered  we 
cannot  think  of  a  fitter  partner  for  Samuel  nor  can  we  discourage,  but  encourage  any  inclination  of 
thine  to  purchase  it. 

The  price  he  sets  is  £2700.  I  would  pursuade  him  to  abate  the  £200  for  the  sake  of  so  good  a 
partner,  but  he  thinks  his  abatement  too  great  already.  However  you  are  at  such  a  distance  that 
cannot  conveniently  bill  at  price  and  he  says  that  this  consideration  made  him  sell  at  the  lowest- 
He  gives  thee  his  estimate. 

I  am  thy  friend 

Isaac  Norris. 

To  the  exerted  infltience  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  Watson,  in  his  Annals 
of  Philadelphia,  imputes  the  change  that  was  made  from  the  original  plan 
of  the  city  as  respects  the  building  up  of  the  bank  on  the  east  side  of  Front 
Street.  It  is  certain  that  he  was  the  first  person  that  obtained  permission 
from  the  Proprietor  to  build  upon  the  river  bank.  He  agreed  to  pay  a 
high  ground-rent  for  this  privilege,  with  the  reversion  of  one-third  the  estate 
in  value  after  the  expiration  of  fifty  ^-ears.  It  is  said  that  Penn  yielded  a 
reluctant  consent  and  wrote  "my  necessities  and  not  my  will  hath  done 
this  thing." 

The  following  correspondence  I  insert  here,  although  not  in  chrono- 
logical order,  on  account  of  its  relation  to  this  matter.  The  first  letter  is 
from  Hannah  Carpenter,  daughter  of  Samuel  Preston  and  widow  of  Samuel 
Carpenter  the  Second. 

Philadelphia,  12th  Mo.  12th  1759. 
To  the  Proprietors: 

As  my  late  husband  Samuel  Carpenter  made  application  to  our  Proprietors  John  Penn  and 
Thomas  Penn,  when  they  were  in  this  province  to  acquit  him  of  thirds  reserved  in  that  part  of 
his  Father's  lot  which  he  then  and  we  now  possess  the  Proprietors  were  then  so  kind  as  to  promise 
him  that  they  would  willingly  grant  the  thirds  in  such  manner  as  should  be  most  agreeable  to  us. 
Which  the  Proprietary  Thomas  Penn  was  so  kind  as  to  repeat  to  my  father  Samuel  Preston,  and 
told  him  that  he  had  directed  the  Secretarj'  to  minute  the  order  for  the  grant  to  be  made 
in  such  manner  as  to  suit  best  from  which  we  apprehended  that  we  could  have  it  done  by 
applying  to  him. 

My  family  being  then  too  young  to  be  consulted  on  such  an  occasion  and  other  delays  arising 
from  the  manner  of  conveyancing,  it  was  left  unfinished.  My  Husband  and  Father  since  dieing 
nothing  has  been  done  to  this  day  and  on  applying  to  the  Secretary  he  says  that  he  does  not 
remember  to  have  received  orders  from  the  Proprietary  to  do  it. 

As  I  have  no  doubt  of  the  Proprietary's  readiness  to  confirm  their  said  promise,  and  as  I 
presume  their  intention  was  to  grant  the  thirds  in  such  manner  as  should  best  suit  the  circum- 
stances of  the  case,  I  have  now,  my  family  being  grown  up,  consulted  them  and  they  have  agreed 
to  an  Instrument,  a  Copy  of  which  I  take  the  liberty  to  enclose,  and  which  if  the  Proprietaries 
should  approve  and  should  be  pleased  to  order  to  be  executed  or  otherwise  to  give  directions  for 
confirmation  of  such  grant  which  they  were  so  generous  to  offer  us,  it  will  confer  a  lasting  favor 
upon  their  thankful  friend. 

Hannah  Carpenter.

Cl^c  Carpenter  family 


The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  written  by  James  Logan  to 
Thomas  Penn,  dated  Philadelphia,  July  30,  1741. 

Yesterday  Joseph  Wharton  ealhng  here  requested  of  me  that  I  would  certify  to  thee  what  I 
knew  of  his  wife's  Grandfathers'  (Samuel  Carpenter)  merits  towards  thy  father,  and  whether  he 
had  received  any  gratification  for  his  services. 

Though  I  had  for  some  considerable  time  past  resolved  by  no  means  to  meddle  in  any  of  the 
Proprietaries  business  (those  of  the  six  nations  of  Indians  alone  excepted)  yet  I  justly  conceived 
so  honorable  an  esteem  for  that  worthy  good  man  during  his  life,  and  for  his  memory  after  his  death 
(though  not  well  used  by  his  successors)  that  I  should  think  it  highly  unjust  in  me  who  know  full 
as  much  of  that  matter  I  believe  as  any  man  living  to  deny  so  reasonable  a  request. 

I  must  remark  that  thy  Father  himself  acknowledged  when  here  that  he  owed  those  high 
(Ground  Rents)  quit  rents  for  the  Bank  lots  of  Philadelphia  and  the  reversion  of  the  thirds  of  the 
value  after  fifty  years  entirely  to  Samuel  Carpenter  who  against  his  the  Proprietaries  will  had 
tempted  him  with  these  to  suffer  himself  and  the  other  purchasers  in  the  Front  to  build  on  the 
East  side  of  that  Street. 

And  I  think  I  may  confidently  a\'er  that  Samuel  Carpenter  never  since  I  came  into  the  Coun- 
try received  directly  or  indirectly  any  consideration  whatever  from  thy  Fatlier,  and  I  believe  as 
little  before  for  any  manner  of  service;  for  he  appeared  in  flourishing  circumstances  when  thy 
Father  left  the  Country  last  subscribing  with  Jonathan  Dickinson  to  that  petition — "To  have  a 
price  set  on  the  reversion  of  said  thirds  which  was  done  at  twenty  shillings  per  foot;  now  nearly 
forty  years  ago,  very  much  in  view  to  raise  a  sum  then  very  much  needed." 

But  alas!  by  a  war  which  was  declared,  the  ensuing  Spring,  and  by  the  bolting  being  carried 
generally  into  the  Country  to  the  Grist  Mills  which  then  first  began  that  year  to  be  generally  built 
in  all  parts — though  before  that  time  there  were  not  above  one  or  two  at  the  most  at  more  than 
three  or  four  miles  from  the  Delaware  River  and  all  these  on  navigable  waters. 

By  these  means  I  say  the  profitable  trade  which  he  carried  on  before  almost  entirely  failed 
and  his  debts  coming  upon  him  and  the  Mills  and  other  estate  sinking  in  value  so  that  he  could  by 
no  means  clear  himself,  and  from  the  wealthiest  men  in  the  province  as  he  was  accounted  to  be 
when  thy  Father  left  he  became  very  much  reduced,  and  all  of  his  bonds  are  not  discharged  until 
this  day. 

To  the  above,  Thomas  Penn  wrote  in  reply  to  Hannah  Carpenter  as 
follows,  dated  London,  May  27,  1760. 

Madam: 

I  wrote  to  Mr.  Peters  intending  to  send  it  by  the  last  Packet  to  inform  you  I  had  received 
your  letter  and  should  answer  it  to  yourself  at  the  next  opportunity,  that  I  very  well  remember  the 
promise  made  to  your  husband  and  father,  and  therefore  we  should  perform  it  by  releasing  to  you 
the  thirds  of  your  portion  of  the  lot  of  Samuel  Carpenter  in  such  a  manner  as  we  should  be  advised 
was  safe  to  us  from  any  further  demands  of  the  family.  I  have  added  in  the  draft  the  real  consid- 
eration for  which  it  was  granted,  viz.  the  services  done  by  your  father  in  law  to  my  father,  my  very 
good  and  worthy  friend  both  to  him  and  to  us.  I  have  directed  Mr.  Peters  to  finish  this  business 
as  soon  as  possible  and  desire  you  will  be  assured  I  have  great  pleasure  in  settling  it  out  of  regards 
to  the  good  friends  of  my  family  as  well  as  to  yourself  being  with  great  truth — Your  affectionate 

friend, 

Thos.  Penn. 

Among  the  papers  of  the  family  there  has  been  found  a  copy  of  a  letter 
undoubtedly  in  answer  to  the  last.  It  is  without  signature,  but  must  have 
been  written  by  the  Hannah  Carpenter  mentioned  in  the  correspondence.

May  it  please  the  Proprietors. 

I  was  favored  some  months  since  with  your  obliging  letter  of  the  Fifth  Month  last,  acquaint- 
ing me  with  your  kind  intention  of  releasing  to  myself  and  children  your  thirds  of  the  part  I  now 
hold  of  my  deceased  husband's  lot,  in  consideration  of  his  and  my  own  father's  services  to  our 
late  worthy  Proprietor  and  yourselves,  which  intention  pursuant  to  instructions  for  that  purpose 
to  the  Governor  hath  been  executed  in  the  most  authentic  manner  by  a  proper  instrument  under 
the  Provincial  Seal.  I  have  therefore  no  motives  for  giving  the  Proprietors  this  further  trouble 
but  those  arising  from  a  due  sense  of  the  favours  received,  for  which  I  beg  leave  on  my  own  and 
in  behalf  of  others  concerned  to  return  the  most  sincere  and  respectful  acknowledgments. 

Their  most  obliged  and  affectionate  friend. 
To  the  Proprietaries. 

The  Government  of  William  Penn  and  his  Deputies,  as  is  well  known, 
sustained  for  many  years  a  violent  and  able  opposition  from  a  numerous 
party  in  the  Provincial  Assembly.  The  men  who  composed  the  Governor's 
Council  were  often  therefore  placed  in  opposition  to  the  representatives  of 
the  people  who  claimed  a  more  democratic  form  of  government  than  the 
executive  thought  proper  to  allow. 

The  following  extract  from  the  address  of  the  Council  to  Lieutenant- 
Governor  Gookin  in  1709,  in  reply  to  certain  reflections  and  insinuations 
made  against  them  in  the  address  of  the  Assembly,  exhibits  a  spirit  becom- 
ing their  official  station  and  character. 

Notwithstanding  the  Proprietor  and  Lieut.  Governor  finding  themselves  under  a  necessity 
of  having  a  Council  about  them  to  advise  with  in  affairs  of  Govenmient  have  thought  fit  to  choose 
us  for  that  service,  in  which  according  to  our  several  solemn  engagements  we  have  acquitted  our- 
selves to  the  best  of  our  judgments  and  ability,  yet  not  one  of  us  receives  or  expects  any  other  ad- 
vantage by  it  than  the  satisfaction  of  having  discharged  our  duties  to  the  Country  we  live  in,  and 
to  advance  the  prosperity  and  happiness  of  it  as  much  as  may  be  in  our  power.  We  have  no  sal- 
aries or  allowances  to  encourage  us.  What  we  do  is  at  our  expense  of  time,  trouble  and  charge 
and  upon  the  whole  of  our  own  estates  is  our  dependence  which  giving  us  as  full  an  interest  as 
others  can  pretend  to  in  the  Countrj-,  and  being  without  any  views  of  interest  different  from  the 
good  of  the  whole,  no  man  without  a  manifest  violence  to  his  reason  can  imagine  but  that  we  are 
as  careful  to  prevent  and  divert  miseries,  confusions  and  diversions  that  may  threaten  the  Prov- 
ince as  any  other  set  of  men  whatever. 

Upon  the  whole  may  it  please  the  Governor,  though  on  the  one  hand  we  shall  be  exceedingly 
unwilling  to  have  any  misunderstanding  with  the  representatives  of  the  people  knowing  it  an  un- 
happiness  that  all  reasonable  measures  should  be  taken  to  prevent,  yet  on  the  other  we  shall  not 
by  any  means  be  diverted  from  discharging  the  trust  imposed  upon  us  during  our  continuance  in 
this  station  with  honor  and  justice  to  the  best  of  our  abilities;  but  from  time  to  time  shall  offer  to 
the  Governor  such  advise  as  we  shall  judge  both  conducive  to  the  general  good  of  the  Province- 
in  the  welfare  of  which  we  are  so  nearly  concerned  in  our  several  private  interests  and  in  the  mean, 
time  hope  to  be  secured  from  calumny  and  misrepresentations.

thereof,  as  if  the  said  Carpenter  had  been  originally  concerned  in  building  and  carrying  on  the 
said  Ship,  and  in  purchasing  the  said  Tobacco,  in  consideration  whereof  the  said  Carpenter  obliges

the  said  Ship  and  Cargo  as  the  accounts  shall  be  settled  and  adjusted  between  him  and  the  rest  of

hereunto  put  his  hand  and  seal,  the  12th  day  of  the  ist  Mo.  1707-8

The  negotiations  with  Jonathan  Dickinson  were  not  consummated. 
Samuel  Carpenter  retired  from  trade  and  concentrated  his  attention  chiefly 
upon  his  Bristol  estate.  He  had  a  summer  residence  upon  the  island  op- 
posite the  town  of  Bristol.  The  house  he  inhabited  there  was  standing  a 
few  years  prior  to  1828.  A  bakery  that  belonged  to  him  was  then  still  to 
be  seen  in  the  town  of  Bristol,  He  was  a  zealous  member  of  the  Society  of 
Friends,  and,  although  he  became  much  reduced  in  his  circumstances  in 
the  latter  years  of  his  life,  his  integrity  was  never  questioned. 

The  name  of  Samuel  Carpenter  occurs  frequently  in  Proud's  History 
of  Pennsylvania,  to  wit,  among  others  the  following: 

Samuel  Carpenter  and  four  others  member  of  Council  wrote  a  let- 
ter to  the  Proprietaries  exculpating  Thomas  Lloyd,  Deputy  Governor, 
from  some  blame  (i,  358).  Samuel  Carpenter  and  eight  others  wrote  a 
letter  to  William  Penn,  dated   November  10,   1693,  concerning  affairs  of

Government  (1,382).  Samuel  Carpenter,  Samuel  Preston,  and  eight  others 
sign  a  remonstrance  to  Governor  Fletcher  (i,  359).  William  Penn 
writes  to  Samuel  Carpenter  and  others  concerning  the  restoration  of  the 
government  of  the  Province,  in  a  letter  dated  loth  of  nth  Month,  1693 
(i,  401). 

Samuel  Carpenter  with  five  others  join  in  approving  the  Charter  of 
Privileges  from  William  Penn,  October  25,  1701.  Samuel  Carpenter  a 
member  of  the  Assembly  from  Bucks  County,  1705  (i,  462).  Samuel  Car- 
penter with  four  others  appointed  trustees  of  the  mortgage  when  the  Prov- 
ince was  mortgaged  by  William  Penn.  In  1707  the  Assembly  bring  a  charge 
against  Samuel  Carpenter  for  refusing  to  pay  monthly,  agreeable  to  their 
order,  Samuel  Carpenter  being  Treasurer  of  the  Province;  vindicated  by 
the  Governor  as  acting  according  to  law  (ii,  10  and  further). 

A  memorial  signed  by  Samuel  Carpenter  and  eight  others,  members 
of  Council,  was  presented  to  Council,  dated  April  8,  1709,  vindicating  them- 
selves from  the  charge  of  giving  evil  counsel  to  a  former  Governor  (Evans) 
as  charged  by  the  Assembly,  and  distinguish  what  they  meant  when  they 
said,  "The  late  Governor  was  too  much  influenced  b}'  evil  counsel,"  by 
expressly  throwing  the  blame  upon  James  Logan  and  some  others  not  of  the 
Governor's  Council  (ii,  12).  In  1709  the  Assembly  consulted  Samuel  Car- 
penter and  other  Quaker  members  of  Council  on  the  Governor's  requisi- 
tion for  aid  in  taking  Newfoundland.  The  quota  required  was  one  hundred 
and  fifty  men,  and  four  thousand  pounds.  The  Assembly,  on  advice,  re- 
fused to  answer  the  requisition,  but  offer  a  present  of  five  hundred  pounds 
to  the  Queen  (ii,  25). 

EXTRACTS  FROM   PEXX   AXD   LOGAN   CORRESPONDENCE. 

Logan  to  Penn  (vol.  i,  p.  301).  "But  the  risk  is  great  through  the 
great  number  of  Martinico  privateers.  The}^  have  this  war  taken  over 
150  sail  of  English,  four  of  ours.  Another  large  sloop  belonging  to  Isaac 
Norris,  Samuel  Carpenter  etc.  The  last  stick  that  Samuel  was  concerned 
in  at  sea  was  taken  on  her  return  hither  by  a  large  privateer  of  St.  Maloes 
coming  from  the  Havanna  called  ' '  the  Duke  of  Orleans ' '  and  being  bought 
again  for  £800  sterling,  came  a  few  days  ago  into  Maryland.  Capt.  Puckle 
is  we  believe  lost,  the  vessels  that  came  out  in  company  being  arrived  in 
Boston  and  Mar>-land  some  weeks  ago."  .   .  . 

Logan  to  Penn  (vol.  ii,  p.  140)  .  .  .  "The  three  ablest  that  I  know 
of  my  acquaintance  are  Samuel  Carpenter,  Isaac  Norris  and  Richard  Hill. 
The  first  says,  tis  a  pity,  but  if  thou  hold'st  it,  thou'll  be  ruined.     The 

31

second  is  wholly  a  trader,  and  will  not  advise  on  the  matter,  the  latter 
heartily  wishes  that  other  means  could  be  found  to  discharge  thy  incum- 
brances." 

Logan  to  Penn  (vol.  ii,  p.  156).  .  "I  have  discoursed  very  seriously 
with  Samuel  Carpenter,  whose  judgment  I  take  to  be  the  best  of  any  man 
in  the  Province,  and  the  sum  of  what  he  says,  besides  what  I  have  men- 
tioned already  is,  that  for  him  or  any  other  man  in  his  place,  to  advise  thee 
to  part  with  the  Government,  would  be  exceedingly  dangerous  for  the 
person  that  did  so,  were  it  known.  But,  were  he  to  whisper  in  thy  ear, 
he  would  tell  thee  his  thoughts  more  fully,  which  in  short,  are  if  thou  can 
get  anything  for  it  from  the  Crown,  and  good  terms  for  the  people  with 
it,  tis  the  only  thing  advisable  at  this  juncture,  for  this  Province  cannot 
now  raise  anything,  they  have  it  not,  nor  do  I  believe  there  is  so  much 
money,  as  thou  mentions,  in  the  whole  Government."  .   .   . 

Penn  to  Logan  (vol.  i,  p.  171).  Speaking  of  his  son,  who  was  then  pre- 
paring to  embark  for  Philadelphia,  he  says :  "If  Samuel  Carpenter,  Richard 
Hill  or  Isaac  Norris  could  gain  his  confidence  ...  I  should  rejoice.  Penn- 
sylvania has  cost  me  dearer,  in  my  poor  child  than  all  other  considerations." 

Samuel  Carpenter  died  at  the  house  of  his  son-in-law  William  Fish- 
bourn,  at  Sepviva  Plantation,  in  the  County  of  Philadelphia,  on  the  tenth 
of  the  Second  Month  (April),  17 14,  greatly  beloved  and  lamented. 

In  a  letter  to  William  Penn  dated  2d  Mo.  nth,  1714,  James  Logan  says, 
' '  We  have  now  lost  our  dear  friend  Samuel  Carpenter,  he  departed  last  night 
about  II,  at  his  daughter  Fishboume's  where  he  lodged  when  taken  ill,  for 
he  had  no  dwelling  in  town,  having  removed  last  Fall  to  Bristol.  He  lay 
about  twelve  days  ill  of  a  violent  rheumatism  and  fever  in  great  pain,  but 
just  before  his  departure  he  took  leave  of  all  his  friends  about  him  and  went 
quietly  away."  And  further,  of  his  honor,  integrity,  and  high  estimation 
in  which  he  was  held  ever  since  his  arrival  in  this  country,  he  adds,  "and 
how  much  it  was  due  from  all  men,  sufficiently  appears  by  the  heavy  melan- 
choUy  that  sits  on  the  faces  of  all  here  who  had  a  value  for  sincere  honesty 
and  public  spirit,  upon  his  lying  a  dead  corpse  and  to  be  laid  tomorrow  in 
the  grave.  He  was  universally  esteemed  and  beloved  here.  As  I  always 
loved  him  and  his  generous  disposition,  so  do  I  find  on  his  exit  few  more 
could  have  left  a  greater  degree  of  concern  on  my  thoughts.  I  need  say 
nothing  to  thee  on  the  loss  of  such  a  man,  but  the  sense  of  it  was  seen  on 
the  faces  of  hundreds.  I  am  satisfied  that  his  humble  and  just  soul  is  now 
at  rest."

Thomas  Story,  a  distinguished  preacher  among  the  Friends  of  that  day, 
in  a  letter  to  Hannah  Fishboume  writes,  "That  the  Lord  has  gathered  my 
dear  friend  to  himself  from  all  sorrows,  troubles  and  griefs  which  were  many 
and  various.  I  have  no  manner  of  question,  nay  I  may  say  I  am  fully  sat- 
isfied, he  has  attained  the  state  of  the  just  and  is  praising  his  God  and  our 
God  in  Heaven  in  joy  unspeakable  which  never  changeth." 

From  a  memorial  written  by  his  daughter  Hannah  Fishboume  I  also 
extract  the  following  tribute  to  his  memory. 

He  was  a  pattern  of  humility  and  self-denial  a  man  fearing  God  and  hating  covetousness, 
much  given  to  hospitality  and  good  works.  He  was  a  loving  affectionate  husband  a  loving  father, 
a  loving  and  faithful  friend  and  brother.  His  house  and  heart  were  ever  open  and  free  to  entertain 
the  messengers  of  God,  and  he  was  ever  willing  to  be  servicable  to  truth  and  friends.  He  was  very 
ready  to  help  the  poor,  and  such  as  were  in  distress,  and  I  doubt  not  but  that  he  has  received  a 
rich  reward  from  the  hand  of  the  Lord.  His  memory  is  precious  among  the  living  and  renowned 
among  the  just,  and  though  he  is  dead  yet  he  speaketh  and  his  name  shall  be  remembered  among 
the  faithful  for  generations  to  come.  And  although  the  loss  of  him  be  great  to  us  who  were  nearly 
related  to  him,  yet  we  feel  the  love  and  presence  of  him  the  mighty  Lord  who  in  his  divine  wisdom 
saw  fit  to  take  him  to  himself  out  of  all  sorrow  and  danger. 

To  the  foregoing  I  will  also  add  the  following  notice  of  him  from  Proud's 
History  of  Pennsylvania. 

Samuel  Carpenter  arrived  early  in  Pennsylvania  and  was  one  of  the  most  considerable  traders 
and  settlers.  He  held  for  many  years  some  of  the  greatest  offices  of  the  Government,  and  through 
a  great  variety  of  business  he  preserved  the  love  and  esteem  of  a  large  number  of  acquaintances. 
His  great  abilities,  activity,  and  benevolent  disposition  of  mind  in  divers  capacities,  but  more  par- 
ticularly among  his  friends  the  Quakers,  are  said  to  have  rendered  him  a  very  useful  member  not 
only  of  that  religious  society,  but  of  the  community  in  general. 

The  will  of  Samuel  Carpenter  the  First,  merchant,  was  signed  in  Phila- 
delphia, April  6,  1 7 14. 

Leaves  the  mansion  he  built  on  King  Street  (now  Water  Street),  the 
ten  warehouses  and  the  wharf  adjoining  to  his  wife  Hannah,  and  his  two 
sons  Samuel  and  John.  One  half  the  income  therefrom  to  his  wife,  and  the 
other  half  divided  between  the  two  sons,  under  a  trust  for  this  purpose  to 
Isaac  Norris  and  Richard  Hill.  Gives  £300  to  his  daughter  Hannah  Fish- 
boume. The  residue  of  his  property  to  be  divided  into  thirds.  One  third 
to  go  to  his  wife  Hannah,  and  the  remaining  two  thirds  to  be  divided  be- 
tween his  three  children.  Appoints  his  wife  the  sole  executrix.  After  her 
death,  his  children  Samuel  Carpenter,  John  Carpenter,  William  Fishboume 
and  Hannah  his  wife,  to  be  the  executors,  and  his  brother  Joshua  Carpenter, 
Samuel  Preston,  Isaac  Norris,  Richard  Hill,  and  Caleb  Pusey  of  the  County 
of  Chester,  coadjutors  to  advise  and  assist  the  executrix  and  executors.

THE   BROTHERS  AND  SISTERS  OF   SAMUEL 

CARPENTER 

Samuel  Carpenter  had  three  brothers,  John,  Abraham,  and  Joshua, 
and  three  sisters,  Damaris,  Deborah,  and  Mary,  of  whom, 

I.  John  Carpenter  (brother  of  Samuel)  remained  in  Horsham,  Sus- 
sex Co.,  England,  and  left  issue. 

II.  Abraham  Carpenter  (brother  of  Samuel)  emigrated  to  Phila- 
delphia and  died  there  without  children.  He  was  buried  in  the  old  Friends 
Burial  Ground  April  10,  1708,  although  not  a  member  of  the  Society  of 
Friends.  His  wife  died  about  Third  Month,  1 705.  See  letter  of  Isaac  Norris 
to  Jonathan  Dickinson,  Third  Month,  11,  1705:  "Abraham  Carpenter 
buried  his  wife  in  about  24  hours  of  like  distemper."  He  was  a  merchant, 
and  the  following  is  an  abstract  of  his  will.

Abraham  Carpenter  in  his  will  mentions  all  of  his  brothers  and  sisters, 
and  leaves  legacies  to  most  of  his  nephews  and  nieces. 

III.  Joshua  Carpenter  (brother  of  Samuel)  also  emigrated  to  this 
country  about  1686,  settled  in  Philadelphia,  and  became  a  prosperous  and 
influential  citizen.  He  was  justice  of  the  peace  for  Philadelphia  County, 
May  18,  1693  ;  the  first  alderman  appointed  under  the  charter  of  1701.  Was 
one  of  Penn's  Commissioners  of  Property  in  1708,  and  represented  the  City 
of  Philadelphia  in  the  Provincial  Assembly  in  1702,  1706,  1707,  1708,  and 
1 7 2 1 .  He  built  and  resided  in  a  large  house,  afterwards  called  Graeme  Hall, 
which  stood  on  a  part  of  the  lot  since  occupied  by  the  Arcade,  on  Chestnut 
Street  between  Sixth  and  Seventh  Streets  (now  removed).

He  never  joined  the  Quakers,  but  retained  his  connection  with  the 
Church  of  England,  and  was  actively  interested  in  the  organization  and 
building  of  Christ  Church,  Philadelphia.  He  purchased  the  lot  on  which  it 
stands  in  his  own  name,  and  subsequently  executed  a  declaration  that  he 
held  it  in  trust  for  the  sole  use  and  benefit  of  that  corporation,  and  it  so 
stands  unchanged,  the  legal  title  remaining  in  the  representative  of  Joshua 
Carpenter,  trustee. 

He  died  in  1722;  buried  July  24,  1722  (Christ  Church  Records).  His 
wife  died  in  1729;  buried  October  30,  1729  (Christ  Church  Records).  They 
were  interred  in  the  centre  of  Washington  Square.  Mrs  Susan  Shober  in- 
formed me  that  she  remembered,  and  had  often  seen,  the  iron  railing  that 
enclosed  the  space  where  the  grave  was  situated.  There  is  a  tradition  that 
this  place  was  selected  from  the  circumstance  that  a  daughter  of  Joshua 
Carpenter  had  committed  suicide,  and  was  excluded  from  burial  in  the 
church  grounds.  If  this  is  true,  we  have  no  record  of  the  birth,  death  or 
name  of  this  member  of  the  family.  I  have  frequently  heard  it  stated  by 
my  grandfather  Thomas  Carpenter,  and  others,  that  the  lot  of  ground  now 
constituting  Washington  Square  was  at  one  time  in  the  possession  of  Sam- 
uel Carpenter,  who  gave  it  for  a  free  burial  place  for  strangers.  It  was 
called  the  Potter's  field,  and  was  used  as  a  common  burial  ground  until 
after  the  yellow  fever  of  1799. 

Thousands  of  silent  dead  sleep  beneath  the  greensward  and  gravel 
walks  which  now  adorn  it.* 

The  will  of  Joshua  Carpenter,  of  Philadelphia,  brewer,  was  signed 
August  7,  1720,  with  a  codicil  signed  July  23,  1722.  He  leaves  all  his  prop- 
erty, real  and  personal,  to  his  wife  Elizabeth,  who  is  appointed  sole  execu- 
trix. The  following  legacies  are  to  be  paid  six  months  after  his  wife's 
decease  by  her  executors:  Robert  Story,  £25  ;  Patience  Story,  £75 — the  chil- 
dren of  his  daughter  Sarah  Story.  His  son-in-law  Enoch  Story,  one  shilling. 
His  sisters  Mary and  Damaris  Hunt,  near  London,  in  Great  Britain, 

*  Washington  Square  was  never  owned  by  Samuel  Carpenter.  It  was  one  of  the  squares 
set  out  in  the  original  plan  for  public  use  and  to  be  reserved  for  ever.  Notwithstanding  this,  how- 
ever, on  the  recommendation  of  the  Mayor  and  others,  William  Penn  issued  a  patent  January  29, 
1706,  authorizing  its  use  for  burial  purposes  as  a  Potter's  field.  March  30,  1706,  Joshua  Carpenter 
leased  it  for  twenty-one  years  from  the  corporation,  for  a  small  rent,  agreeing  to  fence  it.  After- 
wards it  was  leased  by  Jacob  Shoemaker,  as  it  afforded  good  pasturage,  and  April  14,  1766,  Jasper 
Carpenter  leased  the  ground  for  seven  years  at  an  annual  rent  of  £10. 

Many  prisoners  who  died  in  the  old  Walnut  Street  jail  during  the  Revolution  were  buried  in 
the  square  opposite,  and  hundreds  who  died  of  yellow  fever  in  the  epidemics  which  ravaged  Phila- 
delphia later.    The  square  was  not  used  as  a  burial  place  after  1815.  L.  H.  C.

fit of  her  daughter  Sarah  Low,  during  the  time  of  her  natural  life.  All  of

S.\MUEL  Carpenter,  2D,  became  a  successful  merchant  and  died  possessed  of  a  considerable 
estate.  His  will,  dated  Nov.  11,  1748,  is  couched  in  the  most  affectionate  terms.  It  gives  to  his 
wife,  after  payment  of  debts  and  funeral  expenses,  all  of  his  moneys,  goods,  chattels,  and  personal 
estate  absolutely,  and  all  of  his  messuages,  store-houses,  lots,  lands,  tenements,  and  hereditaments,

by  purchase  from  Hannah  Carpenter. 

Hannah  Preston,  wife  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  2D,  died  in  Philadelphia  on  the  6th  of  March, 
1772,  in  the  seventy-ninth  year  of  her  age,  having  survived  her  husband  nearly  twenty-four  years.

she  welcomed  its  approach  as  the  only  means  of  relief  from  her  sufferings  and  a  happy  removal

lowing were  interred  in  the  burial  ground  of  the  society  called  Quakers,  on  Arch  Street,  Phila- 
delphia, by  whom  she  was  always  esteemed  an  exemplary  member."  Mary  Lloyd,  the  first  wife

ent, and  addressed  the  assembled  mourners  by  the  side  of  the  grave.  The  descendants  of  Lieu-

irregular  habits,  although  there  is  no  doubt  that  he  "mended  his  ways"  and  became  an  esteemed 
citizen.  The  original  copy  in  the  handwriting  of  the  author  is  preserved,  with  an  endorsement 
that  he  had  delivered  the  original  on  the  day  upon  which  it  was  written. 

Philadelphia,  the  20th  of  nth  Mo.  1714. 
I  persuade  myself  that  I  need  not  use  arguments  to  make  thee  sensible  how  thou  stands  in- 
terested in  my  affections.  Thou  must  believe,  when  I  gave  thee  my  daughter,  with  the  manner 
and  circumstances  of  my  doing  it,  that  it  was  because  I  loved  thee — and  if  thy  reason  may  be  per- 
mitted to  guide  thy  judgment,  thou  will  not  unkindly  resent  what  I  herein  say  to  thee,  but  un- 
derstand and  accept  it,  as  a  further  confirmation  of  my  good  will  towards  thee.  Believe  me  Sam- 
uel, I  have  with  great  sorrow  seen  in  thee  that  which  in  affection  duty  and  conscience,  I  am  con- 
strained to  take  notice  of,  and  obseri'e  to  thee  for  thy  information,  and  that  is  thy  constant,  fre- 
quent and  pernicious  practise  of  going  to  taverns.  It  is  very  surprising,  and  exercising  to  me,  and  I 
take  it  to  be  an  infallible  sign  of  thy  degeneracy  from  the  religious  example  and  discipline  which 
thou  hast  had,  and  I  do  say  to  thee  that  unless  thou  reform  thou  art  in  great  danger  of  being  utterly 
ruined  and  everlastingly  unhappy  in  perpetual  woe  and  misery.  I  pray  thee  give  me  leave  to  say 
to  thee  (I  am  sure  it  is  in  all  abundance  of  love)  some  injurious  effects  that  flow  from  that  cause 
and  though  I  mention  that,  the  expense,  'tis  what  I  think  the  least  of,  but  upon  a  modest  computa- 
tion that  cannot  be  less  than  forty  or  fifty  pounds  per  annum,which  spent  in  thy  family  would  make 
housekeeping  more  generous,  and  thy  entertaiiunents  at  home  much  more  to  thy  liking,  and  abun- 
dantly more  reputable;  but  if  nothing  of  that  sort  be  wanting,  then  it  would  certainly  be  an  addi- 
tion to  thy  estate,  and  an  advantage  to  posterity.  But  the  time  thou  spendest  abroad  in  public 
houses  is  injurious  to  thy  business  reputation,  relations,  friends  and  family.  They  that  come  upon 
any  business  are  disappointed,  and  what  might  have  offered  for  thy  interest  is  turned  another  way, 
and  that  is  not  all,  thy  reputation  is  sullied,  which  once  sunk,  the  current  of  trade  stops  and  is 
hardly  ever  regained.  It  is  a  scandalous  imputation,  "he  is  not  at  home  but  he  certainly  may  be 
spoken  with  at  Radleys. "  Thy  absence  from  thy  family  makes  thee  too  much  a  stranger  to  thy 
friends,  and  relations,  whose  visits  and  conversations  might  be  instructive,  edifying  and  conducive 
to  thy  advantage,  not  only  in  preserving  affection,  but  helpful  in  advice,  and  experience,  if  need-

ful;  but  the  worst  part  is,  it  need  be  extremely  disagreeable  to  thy  -wite  who  cannot  but  think  her- 
self slighted  and  ill  used,  that  no  endearment  of  hers,  nor  the  very  pledges  of  her  affection,  ever 
afford  any  agreeable  entertainment,  diversion  or  contentment  at  home  but  something  must  be 
sought  for  elsewhere — such  once  kindled  are  seldom  if  ever  quenched,  but  all  the  bonds  of  conjugal 
affection,  that  brings  you  together  are  dissolved,  and  to  speak  plainly  I  fear  something  of  the  kind 
has  got  ground  in  her  already — her  disconsolate  looks  and  frequent  indispositions  denote  a  de- 
pressed spirit  (though  I  must  say  and  it  is  a  comfort  to  me)  I  never  heard  the  least  repining  from 
her.  To  enumerate  the  many  disorders  that  arise  from  this  detestable  practice,  would  carry  me 
too  great  a  length.  I  must  confine  myself  to  bre\'ity,  and  only  say  that  the  too  frequent  use  of 
strong  drink  is  destructive  to  the  whole  fabric  of  Ufe.  It  wets  and  destroys  the  animal  spirit  and 
clouds  and  affects  the  brain,  breaks  the  constitution  and  contexture  of  the  body.  It  makes  man, 
the  emblem  of  his  creator,  worse  than  the  inferior  or  irrational  creatures.  How  contemptible  is 
the  drunkard.  But  thou  mayst  say  is  not  the  case.  I  confess  I  have  not  heard  it,  and  am  relig- 
iously thankful  for  it.  But  let  me  remind  thee,  there  is  "a  woe  to  them  that  go  mightily  to  drink 
strong  drink."  Upon  the  whole  Son  Carpenter,  that  which  weighs  most  within  me,  is,  the  concern 
I  have  for  thy  future  estate,  inasmuch  as  we  did  not  give  ourselves  being,  but  are  and  must  be 
subject  to  a  being  much  superior  to  us,  ('though  I  must  grant  it  ought  to  be  our  greatest  concern 
in  life  to  be  conformable  to  the  will  of  that  power  that  made  us).  I  beseech  you  think  seriously, 
our  souls  are  at  stake.  If  we  deceive  ourselves  on  this  great  point,  the  loss  is  irreparable.  Most 
certain  it  is  (the  text  is  plain)  "such  as  we  sow  such  must  we  reap."  Let  us  therefore  I  pray  thee, 
as  is  our  indispensable  duty  and  interest,  examine  what  we  are  sowing.  If  it  be  flesUy  and  corrupt 
delights  and  carnal  pleasures,  we  shall  assuredly  reap  corruption.  If  our  works  are  works  of  in- 
iquity, it  is  not  our  saying  Lord,  Lord,  nor  professing  what  we  have  done  in  his  name  that  will  save 
us,  our  doom  Christ  himself  has  declared  will  be  "depart  from  me  ye  workers  of  iniquity  I  know 
ye  not."  Seeing  then  that  our  doom  is  irreversible,  that  our  rewards  must  be  such  as  our  works 
are,  and  that  the  workers  of  iniquity  must  depart  unknown,  thou  wilt  confess  it  very  much  con- 
cerns us  to  take  a  view  of  ourselves — The  tree  is  known  by  its  fruits,  men  do  not  gather  grapes  of 
thorns  or  figs  of  thistles.  Give  me  leave  therefore  son  Carpenter  to  query  why  art  thou  grown 
religiously  cold?  Thou  appearest  once  or  twice  a  week  at  the  appointed  place  for  visible  worship; 
but  so  often  so  far  out  of  time,  that  in  charity  I  believe  thou  art  ashamed  and  from  a  sense  of  guilt 
in  thyself  gets  as  much  out  of  sight  as  thou  well  can.  Art  thou  not  become  estranged  in  thy  heart 
from  those  of  the  best  reputation  for  sobrietv'  and  Christian  worth?  Is  not  the  time  thou  spendest 
in  the  society  of  such  persons  from  tavern  conversation  and  company  uneasy  to  thee?  Art  thou 
the  primogeniture  son,  heir,  and  name  of  thy  father,  in  the  possession  and  inheritance  of  his  vir- 
tues? Dost  thou  love  honor  and  reverence  his  name?  Come  up  in  his  place,  tread  in  his  footsteps, 
follow  his  example  precepts  and  discipline.  Art  thou  not  unmindful  of  thy  aged  mother,  a  widow, 
to  give  her  double  honor,  who  acts  the  part  of  a  double  parent?  As  to  customs,  fashions  and  un- 
profitable conversation,  art  thou  not  therein  taking  a  liberty  for  which  in  the  end,  in  the  tribunal 
of  thy  own  conscience  thou  standest  condemned? 

Pray  Samuel  let  these  things  take  place  with  thee.  I  am  well  assured  thou  art  gone  from  the 
innocency  of  thy  good  education,  which  I  take  to  be  the  indication  of  a  distempered  mind  brought 
on  thee  through  a  very  ill  habit. 

Apply  thyself  to  the  great  Physician  of  souls.  He  is  able  and  no  other  to  work  thy  cure. 
Take  his  medicine,  follow  his  prescription;  'tis  written  in  thy  own  heart,  submit  to  the  operation 
of  it  and  thou  wilt  be  made  perfectly  whole;  but  without  such  application  thy  disease  will  prevail. 
It  must  be  a  work  of  grace  and  a  submission  thereto,  that  will  remove  the  cause,  nothing  else  will 
do.  Self  resolutions  are  ineffectual  and  'though  they  may  give  some  imaginary  relief,  it  will  be 
but  a  deception,  the  cause  remaining,  the  effects  will  not  cease.  I  therefore  because  I  lo\e  thee, 
earnestly  beseech  thee  to  take  my  advice  who  am  in  great  affection, 

Thy  affectionate  father, 

Samuel  Preston.

Cl)c  Carpenter  family 


Samuel  Preston,  father  of  Hannah,  wife  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  2d,  was  a  member  of  the 
Governor's  Council,  1700,  1709,  1735,  one  of  the  commissioners  appointed  by  Penn  to  adjust  the 
boundary  between  Penns^'lvania  and  Maryland,  Master  of  the  Court  of  Chancers'  Aug.  25,  1720, 
treasurer  of  the  Province  1714-1743,  and  Mayor  of  the  City  of  Philadelphia  Oct.  2,  171 1.  He  was 
bom  in  1665,  and  was  an  influential  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  and  distinguished  for  his 
agreeable  manners,  pleasant  and  facetious  disposition,  good  understanding,  and  integrity.  Sam- 
uel Carpenter,  ist,  and  Samuel  Preston  were  intimate  friends,  and  were  appointed  by  William 
Penn  trustees  of  all  his  estates  in  Pennsylvania. 

Samuel  Preston  was  a  native  of  Patuxent,  Calvert  Co.,  Maryland.  After  the  settlement  of 
Pennsylvania,  he  resided  in  Sussex  County,  Delaware,  which  he  represented  in  the  Assembly  in 
1701.  He  subsequently  removed  to  Philadelphia  and  filled  some  of  the  highest  stations  in  the 
government  of  the  Province.  He  was  a  man  of  great  benevolence,  sound  sense,  and  much  presence 
of  mind,  whose  life  was  instructive  to  others  and  his  practice  a  continued  series  of  good  offices. 
In  a  testimony  issued  by  his  Monthly  Meeting  may  be  found  recorded  the  following  tribute  to 
his  memory:  "  He  was  an  Elder  circumspect  in  his  conduct  and  carefully  concerned  for  the  good  of 
the  Church,  active  and  serviceable  in  the  maintainenceof  our  Christian  discipline,  and  by  his  atten- 
tion to  the  dictates  of  Divine  Grace  became  qualified  for  this  service." 

He  died  on  the  tenth  day  of  September,  1743,  in  the  seventy-ninth  year  of  his  age. 

He  married,  first,  Rachel,  daughter  of  Thomas  Lloyd,  of  Dolobran,  Wales,  at  the  house  of 
Francis  Cornwall  in  Sussex  County,  Del.,  July  6,  1688.  She  was  born  Jan.  20,  1667;  died  Aug.  15, 
1 7 16.    Their  children  were : 

'  Margaret,  born  1689;  married  May  27,  1709,  to  Dr.  Richard  Moore,  of  Maryland,  and 
had  i.ssue.    He  died  in  1734. 

-  M.^RY,  born  1691 ;  d.  y.  Sept.  7,  1693. 

'  Hannah,  born  1693;  married  July  2,  1711,  to  Samuel  Carpenter,  2D. 

*  Lloyd,  d.  y.  May  22,  1695. 

Samuel  Preston  married,  secondly,  Margaret,  widow  of  Josiah  Langdale,  from  Yorkshire, 
England.  He  died  on  the  passage  to  this  country  in  1723  Margaret  Burton  Preston  was  born, 
in  1674  and  died  August  23,  1742,  in  the  fifty-eighth  year  of  her  age,  and  left  no  issue. 

Samuel  Preston  owned  one-fourth  of  the  ship  "Grey-hound,"  trading  to  London,  and  on  the 
marriage  of  his  daughter  Hannah  to  Samuel  Carpenter,  2D,  he  ordered  his  share  of  the  profits 
of  the  voyage  to  be  expended  in  the  purchase  of  articles  principally  for  her  use. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  original  invoice: 

"What  ariseth  from  the  one-fourth  of  ship  Grey-hound  voyage  to  and  in  England  after  ship

THE   PRESTON   FAMILY 

Richard  Preston  came  from  England  about  1635,  and  settled  in  Upper  Norfolk  County, 
Virginia,  the  earliest  record  being  a  grant  of  land  from  Governor  John  West  of  150  acres  of  land  to 
Richard  Preston,  for  the  transportation  of  his  wife  and  two  other  persons  into  the  colony,  dated 
December  22,  1636.  Besides  other  grants  of  several  hundred  acres,  there  appears  in  "the  Land 
Grants,"  "From  Sir  William  Berkely  to  Richard  Preston,  Gent.,"  500  acres  of  land  in  the  County 
of  Upper  Norfolk,  etc.  Confirmed  Nov.  25,  1644,  by  an  order  of  Council,  for  the  transportation 
of  five  persons  into  the  colony,  paying  the  fee  rent  of  one  shilling  for  each  fifty  acres.  Dated  Dec. 
18,  1646.  Richard  Preston  was  one  of  the  justices  of  the  County  Court,  in  1646,  for  Nansemond 
County,  Virginia.  A  large  number  of  Puritans  had  settled  in  this  part  of  Virginia,  and  Richard 
Preston  sympathized  with  them,  in  opposition  to  the  established  church.  These  persons  were 
subjected  to  many  arrests  and  fines  for  refusing  to  attend  the  services  of  the  Church  of  England, 
and  finally  when  Lord  Baltimore  promised  religious  freedom,  with  lands  at  a  small  rental,  the 
Independents  of  Norfolk  and  Nansemond  Counties  accepted  the  offer,  and  formed  colonies  on 
the  Severn  and  Patuxent  Rivers  and  the  south  side  of  Preston's  Creek  in  Maryland. 

It  is  recorded  that  Richard  Preston  came  to  Maryland  in  1649,  with  seven  in  his  family, 
and  entered  land  for  73  persons.  The  rolls  of  Calvert  County  show  that  500  acres  of  land  were 
surveyed  to  Richard  Preston  May  28,  1650,  400  acres  called  "Preston"  were  surveyed  July  21, 
1 65 1,  on  the  north  side  of  Patuxent  River  and  south  side  of  Preston's  Creek.  On  this  property 
the  dwelling  was  erected,  and  the  plantation  is  still  known  by  the  name  of  "Preston." 

Troth  says,  in  "Some  Colonial  Mansions,"  "This  house,  without  apparent  alteration  except 
having  a  smaller  front  entrance  than  in  the  original,  is  still  standing  upon  the  plantation,  yet 
known  and  called  by  the  survey  name  of  'Preston,'  given  July  21,  1651,  and  is  the  oldest  building 
extant  in  Maryland."  Other  plantations  were  acquired  by  Preston,  besides  land  on  the  Eastern 
Shore  of  Maryland. 

Upon  authority  from  the  Commonwealth  of  England,  then  under  Cromwell,  the  existing 
government  in  Maryland  was  deposed,  and  a  commission,  including  Richard  Preston,  Edward 
Lloyd,  and  other  Puritans,  was  placed  in  charge  March  29,  1652.  For  two  years  this  portion  of 
the  province  remained  under  Puritan  rule  without  question,  until  Lord  Baltimore  in  England, 
becoming  dissatisfied  with  this  condition  in  his  colony,  instructed  Governor  Stone,  his  represen- 
tative, to  raise  a  force  and  break  up  the  government  on  the  Patuxent.  This  order  was  obeyed, 
and  a  detachment  captured  the  records  at  Preston,  but  the  main  body  finally  encountered  the 
Puritan  levees  at  Providence  on  the  Severn,  and  in  the  conflict  that  ensued  the  party  under  Stone 
was  defeated  by  their  opponents,  with  a  loss  of  about  fifty  killed  and  wounded.  Stone  and  all  his 
officers  being  captured.  A  court  martial  was  held,  and  Lieutenant  William  Lewis,  the  military 
commander,  and  two  others  were  executed.  Governor  Stone  escaped  with  a  temporary  imprison- 
ment. The  Puritan  party  remained  in  charge  of  the  government  nearly  four  years  longer.  Finally 
a  settlement  was  made  satisfactory  to  both  sides,  with  a  general  amnesty,  and  the  General  Assem- 
bly held  Feb.  28,  1659,  contained  representatives  from  the  entire  province.  Richard  Preston  was 
a  representative  for  Calvert  County  afterwards  from  year  to  year  until  the  last  session  of  1666. 
At  the  sessions  held  April  18,  1661,  he  was  presented  as  Speaker  of  the  Lower  House.  Richard 
Preston,  Jr.,  is  recorded  as  representing  Dorchester  County,  on  the  Eastern  Shore  of  Maryland, 
at  the  April  session  of  1669,  this  being  the  first  year  of  the  organization  of  that  county. 

Many  Quakers  came  into  Maryland  soon  after  1658,  and  their  missionaries  succeeded  in 
converting  numbers,  in  the  face  of  much  opposition.  Among  others  Richard  Preston  and  many 
church  members  changed  their  faith,  and  adopted  the  new  belief.  In  1663  Governor  Calvert,  in  a 
letter  to  Lord  Baltimore,  calls  Richard  Preston  "the  great  Quaker." 

When  Richard  Preston  left  Virginia,  he  had  with  him  his  wife  Margaret  and  five  children, — 
'  Richard,  Jr.,  -  James,  '  Samuel,  ■•  Naomi,  and  '  Margaret.  Two  children,  Rebecca  and  Sarah, 
were  born  in  Maryland.    Samuel  probably  died  young.

After  her  death  he  married  Margaret,  the  widow  of  his  brother-in-law,  Richard  Preston,  Jr.  She

and  Sarah  married,  first,  William  Ford,  and,  secondly,  Edward  Pindar. 

The  will  of  Richard  Preston,  Sr.,  is  dated  September  16,  1669,  with  a  codicil  dated  December 
2,  1669.    The  will  was  proved  before  William  Calvert,  January  8,  1669.

LLOYDS  OF  DOLOBRAN 

Thomas  Lloyd,  Lieutenant-Governor  of  Pennsylvania,  was  descended  from  an  ancient 
Welsh  family  resident  for  several  generations  prior  to  the  emigration  at  Dolobran  in  Montgom- 
eryshire, some  six  or  eight  miles  northwest  of  Welshpool.  Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  principle 
of  primogeniture  was  unknown  in  Wales  (lands  descending  there  among  the  children  of  the  owner 
on  the  principle  of  gavelkind),  the  large  estates  were  rapidly  distributed  in  that  country,  and  by 
the  seventeenth  century  there  were  comparatively  few  great  estates  which  had  directly  descended 
from  the  original  ancestor.  To  quote  from  the  works  of  Walter  Davies  (vol.  3,  page  119,  etc.), 
"The  gavelkind  tenure,  in  partitioning  an  estate  between  all  the  sons  of  a  proprietor,  had  a  pau- 
perizing tendency  to  reduce  all  the  inhabitants  of  a  country  where  such  a  custom  was  observed 
in  an  equal  state  of  insignificancy  .  .  .  the  only  preservative  against  the  general  wreck  of  landed 
property  by  gavelkind  was  the  chance  of  an  estate  descending  to  an  only  son  and  that  son  marry- 
ing an  heiress  similarly  circumstanced." 

Dolobran  is  at  the  present  day  (1909)  a  farm  of  a  few  hundred  acres.  While  its  extent  at 
the  time  of  Thomas  Lloyd's  birth  is  not  known,  it  is  probable  that  it  was  of  considerably  greater 
extent,  but  even  then  a  small  fraction  only  of  the  large  estates  once  held  by  this  family. 

Quoting  again  from  Walter  Davies  (vol.  3,  page  123):  "In  the  Township  of  Teirtrev  is 
the  mansion  of  Dolobran  (Dolau  Bran  or  Dol  Ebran),  once  the  residence  of  a  family  named  Lloyd, 
descendants  of  Celynin  of  Llwydiarth,  and  he  of  Aleth  lord  of  Dyved.  Celynin  bore  sable  he- 
goat  argent,  attired  and  unguled  or. 

"  In  the  reign  of  Charles  II,  Charles  Lloyd,  Esq.,  of  this  place,  and  Thomas  Lloyd,  his  brother, 
became  early  converts  to  the  tenets  of  Richard  Davies  of  Cloddian  Cochion,  the  first  Welsh 
Quaker,  and  suffered  much  for  conscience'  sake  in  that  age  of  bigoted  intolerance.  The  esquire 
built  a  meeting-house  for  himself  and  his  brethren  upon  his  own  estate  near  Coed  Cowryd,  which 
is  still  standing.  Thomas  Lloyd  was  among  the  emigrants  of  Pennsylvania  under  the  auspices 
of  the  great  and  good  William  Penn.  At  New  York  he  had  an  interview  with  the  Rev.  Morgan 
Jones,  and  transmitted  his  (Jones's)  strange  narrative  of  having  been  some  months  conversing 
with  and  preaching  to  a  colony  of  Welsh  Indians  near  the  source  of  the  River  Missouri,  to  his 
brother,  Charles  Lloyd,  at  Dolobran;  which  has  since  been  published  by  the  Rev.  N.  Owen  in 
his  British  Remains.  But  this  narrative,  Hke  several  others  of  late  dates,  turned  out  to  be  a  com- 
plete fiction.  .  .  .  Charles  Lloyd,  his  brother  Thomas,  and  the  Morgan  Jones  above  mentioned 
had  been  contemporaneous  students  at  Jesus  College,  Oxford;  but  the  fable  of  the  Welsh  Indians 
in  America  did  not  originate  with  them.     Dr.  Powell  in  his  History  of  Wales,  Hackluyt  in  his

Voyages,  Sir  Thomas  Herbert  in  his  Travels,  had  all  of  them  previously  given  their  sanction  to 
the  creditability  of  the  tradition  that  Prince  Madog  had  sailed  'far  to  the  west,'  etc.;  but  we  have 
no  authority  for  supposing  that  he  ever  sailed  beyond  Ireland  or  the  Isle  of  Man,  or  even  that 
he  ever  boarded  a  skifl  save  over  the  Strait  of  Menai.  He  met,  as  is  above  hinted,  with  a  violent 
death  in  his  native  land;  and  the  perpetrators  of  the  nefarious  deed  to  account  for  his  disappear- 
ance spread  a  report  that  he  had  collected  a  flee.t  and  set  sail  in  quest  of  a  more  pacific  settlement 
This  invention  gained  credit;  and  the  lovers  of  the  marvellous  are  scarcely  willing  to  give  up  the 
point  even  at  this  day;  and  on  this  baseless  fabric  the  present  poet  laureate  erected  one  of  his  epics." 

An  anecdote  respecting  Thomas  Lloyd  is  given  in  the  works  of  the  Rev.  Griffith  Edwards, 
page  74.  He  states,  "In  the  'Autobiography  of  Richard  Davies,'  of  Welshpool,  the  Quaker,  we 
find  the  following  allusion  to  Lord  Herbert  of  Llyssyn:  'My  friend  Thomas  Lloyd  and  I  were 
moved  to  go  and  visit  most  of  the  justices  that  had  a  hand  in  committing  Friends  to  prison.  We 
began  at  the  furthest  justice  towards  Machynlleth  and  came  down  to  Edward  Lord  Herbert, 
Baron  of  Chirbury,  at  Llyssyn  aforesaid,  who  had  committed  Charles  Lloyd  and  several  other 
Friends.  We  understood  on  the  way  that  he  was  at  a  Bowling  Green,  and  several  with  him,  near 
a  place  called  Cann  Office,  near  the  highway  not  far  from  Llyssyn,  where  we  beheld  them  bowling. 
We  considered  with  each  other  which  way  to  take,  there  being  a  peevish  priest,  the  said  Lord's 
chaplain,  with  them;  so  I  asked  Thomas  Lloyd  whether  he  would  engage  the  priest  in  discourse  or 
go  to  the  said  Lord,  which  he  chose.  He  got  into  the  green  leisurely  towards  him  where  most  of 
them  knew  Thomas,  but  he  went  not  in  their  complimenting  posture.  He  stayed  there  but  a 
little  while  and  they  broke  up  their  game,  and  while  he  discoursed  with  the  Lord  Herbert,  I  dis- 
coursed a  little  with  the  priest.  Lord  Herbert,  coming  towards  the  priest  and  me,  said  to  the  priest : 
"Mr.  Jones,  what  have  you  got  there?"  He  answered,  "A  Quaker  and  haberdasher  of  hats  from 
Welshpool."  "Oh,"  said  Lord  Herbert,  "I  thought  he  was  such  a  one:  he  keeps  his  hat  so  fast 
upon  the  block."  Then,  he  intending  and  preparing  to  come  down  a  great  steep  ditch,  I  stepped 
down  to  lend  him  my  hand  to  help  him;  another  priest  would  have  stepped  between  me  and  him, 
but  Lord  Herbert  refused  the  priest's  help,  and,  stepping  a  little,  said  to  the  priest,  "Here  is  a 
brother  that  stands  by  who  will  say  the  blind  leads  the  blind,  and  both  will  fall  into  the  ditch." 
The  priest  was  so  drunk  that  he  could  not  stand  by  himself.  This  Lord  Herbert,  being  a  very  big 
fat  man,  took  my  help  to  come  down,  so  we  went  along  with  him  towards  his  own  house  at  Llyssyn, 
laying  the  suflferings  of  our  friends  before  him  and  that  their  sufferings  were  for  their  consciences' 
sake  towards  God.'  ' ' 

The  parish  church  at  which  the  Lloyds  of  Dolobran  worshipped  is  in  the  village  of  Meivod, 
a  mile  or  two  distant  from  Dolobran. 

Walter  Davies  (vol.  3,  page  96)  says:  "The  assumption  that  Meivod,  inconsiderable  as  it 
must  have  been  as  a  village,  should  notwithstanding  have  three  distinct  places  for  religious  wor- 
ship all  within  the  precincts  of  the  present  churchyard,  rests  upon  no  frail  foundation.  .  .  .  The 
first  in  point  of  time  may  be  that  dedicated  to  St.  Gwyddvarch,  the  hermit  already  mentioned- 
although  I  am  not  informed  in  what  century  he  practised  his  self-denials.  .  .  .  The  second 
church  was  dedicated  to  Tyssilio,  a  saint  and  writer  of  the  seventh  century.  .  .  .  History  is 
silent  as  to  the  time  this  church  was  erected.  .  .  .  We  may  infer  that  most  of  the  princes  of  the 
two  races  of  Mervyn  and  Convyn,  who  resided  at  the  neighboring  castle  of  Mathraval,  had  their 
sepultures  in  the  fane  of  this  popular  saint.  .  .  .  The  third  church,  the  only  one  now  standing, 
is  dedicated  to  St.  Mary,  and,  according  to  Carodoc,  was  consecrated  in  the  year  1 155." 

In  giving  some  account  of  the  last-mentioned  church  and  the  vicars  who  have  conducted 
the  services  there  since  1537,  Mr.  Davies  (vol.  3,  page  102)  says:  "The  register  contains  the  bap- 
tism of  thirteen  children  of  Randolph  Davies,  vicar,  and  Mary,  his  wife,  from  the  year  1649  to 
i656.  According  to  the  above  dates,  he  held  the  living  47  years.  During  his  incumbency  Quaker, 
ism,  etc.,  had  made  a  considerable  schism  in  his  flock;  and,  as  an  endeavor  to  arrest  the  progress 
of  dissent,  he  published,  in  the  year  1675,  a  tract  of  237  pages,  i2mo,  in  excellent  Welsh,  with  a 
dedication,  5  pages,  in  the  same  language,  to  Edward  Vaughan,  of  Llydiarth,  Esquire.    The  first

title-page  in  English  thus: '  Tryall  of  the  Spirits,  and  of  a  Discovery  of  False  Prophets,  and  a  Caveat 
to  beware  of  them;  and  a  short  Treatise  on  i  John,  iv,  i.  Wherein  is  discovered  by  the  light  of 
God's  word,  expounded  by  antiquity,  that  several  doctrines  of  the  Papists,  Presbyterians,  Inde- 
pendents, and  Quakers  are  disagreeable  to  the  holy  scripture  and  carefully  to  be  avoided  by  every 
man  that  oves  the  salvation  of  his  soul.  Pro  Ecclesia  clamitant  et  contra  Ecclesiam  domicant. 
Cypr.' 

"There  is  a  tradition  preserved  in  the  parish  that  this  vicar's  wife  had  a  sister  living  at  Pen- 
tre  Gov;  and  one  Sunday  morning  they  met  at  Pentre  Parog  to  cross  each  other's  path  at  right 
angles,  one  due  south  towards  church,  the  other  due  west  towards  the  Friends  meeting  house  at 
Coed  Cowryd,  near  Dolobran.  After  a  few  words  of  salutation  had  passed  and  each  preparing  to 
depart,  the  vicar's  wife  said,  '  If  you  had  grace,  my  dear  sister,  you  would  come  with  me.'  A 
reply  was  instantly  given,  'If  thouhadst  grace,  thou  wouldst  come  with  me.'  And  so,  both  orthodox 
in  their  own  minds,  they  departed  towards  their  respective  places  of  worship." 

The  ancestry  of  the  Lloyds  of  Dolobran  is  given  at  length  by  Charles  Perrin  Smith,  in  his 

book  called  "The  Lloyd  and  Carpenter  Families."

THE    LINEAGE    OF    THE    LLOYDS    OF    DOLOBRAN. 

This  ancient  family  was  established  in  I\Iontgomcr>'shire,  Wales,  as  early  as  the  middle  of 
the  sixth  century,  and  was  descended  from

Bromfield  in  Flintshire,  son  of  Ednyfed  Lloyd  of  Maelor,  descended  from  Earls  of  Here- 
ford. 

Llewellyn  divided  his  estates  among  his  children,  giving  Llwydiarth  and  Llanihangel 
to  his  eldest  son,  and  his  lands  in  Myvoid  and  Dolobran  to  his  second  son,  David,  who 
married  Meddefys,  daughter  of  Griffith  Deuddur,  descended  from  Brochwel,  Prince  of

Lords  Blaney. 

Ivan  Teg  assumed  the  name  of  Lloyd  about  the  year  1476,  from  Llwydiarth  the 
seat  of  his  grandfather.     He  had  two  sons,  David,  his  heir,  and  Owen.     Owen  married 
Katherine,  daughter  of  Meredith  Rinault,  ap  Sir  Griffith  \'aughn,  and  was  father  of 
levan  Lloyd,  who  married  Gwenhwfar,  daughter  of  Meredith  Lloyd  of  Nevoid,  and  had 
a  son,  John  Lloyd,  who  married  Margaret,  sister  of  Sir  Roger  Kynaston,  and  their  son

parlors  and  halls,  and  was  attended  at  Mivoid  Church  by  24  men,  his  tenants,  with

*"  Ch.\rles  Lloyd  of  Dolobran,  in  commission  of  the  peace  for  Montgomeryshire,  born  1613; 
married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Hon.  Thomas  Stanley  of  Knockin,  a  branch  of  the  Derby 
family. 
''  Charles  Lloyd,  2D,  eldest  son  of  Charles  and  Elizabeth  Lloyd  of  Dolobran,  born  Dec.  9, 
1637,  succeeded  to  Dolobran  and  the  family  estates  on  the  death  of  his  father  in  August, 
1657.    Married  Jan.  i,  1661,  EUzabeth,  daughter  of  Sampson  Lort,  Esq.  (high  sheriff  of 
Pembrokeshire  in  1647).    They  had  si.\  children,  four  of  whom  died  in  infancy. 
His  first  wife  died  in  1685.     He  married,  secondly,  in  1686,  Ann  Lawrence,  of  Lea,  in  the 
County  of  Hereford. 

Charles  Lloyd  was  a  graduate  of  Jesus  College,  Oxford,  well  educated  and  with  a  high  posi- 
tion in  the  community;  but  in  1662  he  attached  himself  to  George  Fo.k  and  his  followers,  the 
founder  of  the  Society  of  Friends. 

In  consequence,  acting  under  his  conscience  in  declining  to  attend  the  services  of  the  estab- 
lished church  and  refusing  to  take  the  oath  of  allegiance  and  supremacy  to  Charles  II,  he  was,  at 
the  instigation  of  envious  neighbors,  subjected,  by  Edward  Lord  Herbert  of  Cherbury,  to  great 
persecution  and  losses.     His  property  was  placed  under  premunire,  his  cattle  sold,   and  his

mansion  at  Dolobran  partially  destroyed.  He  was  taken,  with  seven  other  gentlemen  who 
had  embraced  the  doctrine  of  the  Friends,  to  Welch  Pool  jail  and  confined  there  until  the 
order  of  Charles  II  was  issued  releasing  all  persons  detained  for  religious  opinions.  They  were 
then  set  at  liberty,  after  enduring  about  ten  years'  imprisonment.  Charles  Lloyd  died  Novem- 
ber 27,  1698. 

Thomas  Lloyd,  his  brother,  was  born  February  17,  1640;  was  a  graduate  of  Jesus  College, 
Oxford,  January  29,  1661,  and  is  represented  as  possessing  superior  attainments,  talking  Latin 
fluently  with  Pastorius  on  shipboard.  He  is  said  to  have  graduated  in  medicine,  and  to  have  had 
an  extensive  practice,  and  appears  to  have  been  converted  to  the  Friends'  doctrines  about  16631 
and  to  have  suffered  considerable' persecution  in  Wales.  He  married  November  9,  1865,  Mary, 
daughter  of  Gilbert  Jones,  of  Welch  Pool,  Wales.  She  died  in  Philadelphia  about  the  close  of  1683, 
and  was  the  first  person  interred  in  the  Friends  burial  ground.  Lloyd  married,  secondly,  Decem- 
ber 27,  1684,  Patience  Story,  of  New  York,  a  widow,  nee  Gardiner,  who  survived  him.  No  issue 
by  the  second  marriage.

Thomas  Lloyd  and  his  daughters.  They  arrived  in  Philadelphia  August  20,  1683,  and  Thomas 
Lloyd  became  very  prominent  in  the  early  years  of  the  colony.  He  served  as  president  of  the

1575,  connected  in  relationship  the  Lloyds  of  Dolobran  with  the  Kynastons,  Greys,  Cherletons, 
and  other  prominent  and  noble  families  of  England,  through  whom  they  trace  a  descent  from 
Edward  I.  In  explaining  this  descent  we  follow  Keith's  "Provincial  Councillors,"  as  giving  the 
most  accurate  and  satisfactory  account  that  we  have  seen. 

"The  grandmother  of  Thomas  Lloyd — i.e.,  the  wife  of  John  Lloyd  of  Dolobran,  gentleman- 
was  descended  from  King  Edward  I  of  England  in  the  following  legitimate  and,  for  many  genera- 
tions, illustrious  line: 

"Edward  the  First's  granddaughter  '  the  fair  maid  of  Kent, 'daughter  and  heiress  of  Edmund 
of  Woodstock,  Earl  of  Kent,  married  (ist)  Sir  Thomas  Holland,  who  received  the  title  of  Earl  of 
Kent;  after  his  death,  she  married  (2d)  William  Montacute,  Earl  of  Salisbury;  and  (3d)  Edward, 
Prince  of  Wales,  commonly  called  'the  Black  Prince,'  by  whom  she  was  mother  of  Richard  IL 
Her  eldest  son,  Thomas  Holland,  who  succeeded  his  father  as  Earl  of  Kent,  was  the  father  of 
Eleanor,  who  married  (ist)  Roger  Mortimer,  Earl  of  March,  from  which  marriage  descended  King 
Edward  IV,  and  (2d)  Edward  Cherleton,  Lord  Powys.  Lord  Powys  by  this  marriage  left  co- 
heiresses, one  of  whom,  Joan,  married  Sir  John  Grey,  who  in  the  year  1418  was  created  Earl  of 
Tankerville.  The  Earl  of  Tankerville,  by  this  marriage,  had  a  son  Henry,  who  succeeded  him  as 
Earl  of  Tankerville,  a  title  which  the  family  lost  when  Normandy  was  taken  by  the  French.  The 
male  line  became  extinct  with  the  death  of  Henry's  great-grandson  Edward  Grey,  Lord  Powys, 
in  the  fifth  year  of  the  reign  of  Edward  VI,  and  an  inquisition  found  that  Edward  Kynaston,  Esq., 
was  Lord  Pow>'s's  next  heir.  Edward  Kynaston  was  great-grandson  of  Henry,  the  second  Earl, 
whose  daughter  Elizabeth  had  married  Roger  Kynaston,  Esq.,  leaving  a  son  Humphrey  who  was 
father  of  Edward.  In  1731,  when  Edward  Kynaston's  male  heir  claimed  the  barony  of  Powys, 
the  fact  of  his  descent  from  the  Earl  of  Tankerville  w^as  admitted.  In  Burke's  Landed  Gentry, 
it  is  stated  that  Margaret  Kynaston,  sister  of  Roger  Kynaston,  married  John  Lloyd,  or  Wyn, 
father  of  Humphrey  Wyn  of  Dj-ffryn;  but  it  now  appears,  by  the  better  authority  of  the  Hard- 
wick  Kynaston  pedigree,  pubhshed  in  the  Montgomeryshire  Collections  for  April,  1882,  that 
Margaret  Kynaston,  wife  of  John  Wyn,  was  sister,  instead  of  daughter,  of  Edward  Kynaston 
above  named.  She  was  thus  granddaughter  of  Elizabeth  Grey,  whose  grandmother  was  descended 
from  King  Edward  I.  Margaret  Kynaston's  son  Humphrey  Wyn  of  Dyffryn  was  father  of  Kath- 
erine,  the  wife  of  John  Lloyd  of  Dolobran,  and  the  grandmother  of  Thomas  Lloyd  of  Pennsylvania. 

Charles  Lloyd'  of  Dolobran,  the  father  of  Thomas  Lloyd,  had  his  coat  of  arms,  with  1 5  quarter, 
ings,  impaled  with  the  arms  of  his  wife,  emblazoned  on  a  panel  at  Dolobran.  In  this  appeared  the 
Lloyd  arms,  az.,  a  chevron  between  three  cocks  ar.,  those  of  the  Princes  of  Dyfed,  ancestors  of  the 
Lloyds.  These  arms  were  differenced  by  a  crescent,  to  show  that  the  descent  was  from  a  second 
son.  Some  of  the  arms  were  those  borne  by  the  Poles,  ancient  Lords  of  Powys,  the  Cherletons, 
Greys,  and  Kynastons.  The  coat  of  arms  of  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Thomas  Stanley  of  Knockin, 
of  five  quarterings,  were  impaled  by  Charles  Lloyd.  The  shield  of  the  Earls  of  Derby  is  differenced 
with  a  crescent  charged  with  a  crescent,  which  shows  that  Thomas  Stanley  of  Knockin  descended 
from  the  second  son  of  a  second  son. 

5.  John  Carpenter-  (Samuel  Carpenter,  ist'),  bom  May  5,  1690, 
died  in  1724,  aged  34  years;  married  Nov.  11,  1710,  Ann  Hoskins,  daughter 
of  Dr.  Richard  and  Esther  Hoskins,  who  died  March  20,  1718. 

Dr.  Richard  Hoskins  was  an  eminent  physician  and  minister  of  the  Gospel.  He  died  in 
England  while  on  a  visit  about  1700.  His  wife  died  in  Philadelphia  in  1698.  He  left  several 
daughters. 

John  Carpenter  entered  the  office  of  Isaac  Norris  to  learn  the  mercantile  business.  In  1706, 
when  a  lad  of  sixteen  years,  he  accompanied  the  latter  to  England.  Some  years  later  John  Car- 
penter made  another  voyage,  as  we  learn  from  a  letter  written  in  1715  by  Jonathan  Dickinson,

regard  for,  one  John  Carpenter,  ye  son  of  old  Samuel  Carpenter.  I  cannot  but  recommend  him  to

He  was  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuits  on  his  own  account,  and  attained  success,  although  com- 
paratively young. 

John  Carpenter  was  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia  Common  Council  from  October  7,  171 8, 
until  his  death  in  1724.  His  name  appears  for  the  last  time,  among  those  present  at  its  meetings,

ter'), bom  in  Philadelphia  Oct.  28,  1721 ;  died  Oct.  20,  1785,  at  Salem,  N.  J. 

He  removed  from  Pliiladelphia  to  Salem,  N.  J.,  and  married  October  17,  1742,  Hannah 
Smith,  daughter  of  Samuel  Smith  and  Hannah  Pile,  a  wealthy  man  of  Salem  County,  and  grand- 
daughter of  John  Pile  who  owned  the  whole  township  of  Pilesgrove.  She  was  born  Dec.  21,  1 723. 
He  married  (secondly)  Hannah  Mason,  who  left  no  issue.  Preston  Carpenter  settled  upon 
the  farm  situated  in  Mannington  Township  which  he  acquired  by  his  wife.  Samuel  Smith,  his 
wife's  father,  owned  and  lived  upon  a  large  farm  near  the  Salem  County  almshouse,  formerly 
called  the  Smith  place,  on  which  Thomas  Carpenter  of  Carpenter's  Landing  resided  during  the 
Revolutionary  War.  He  also  purchased  a  tract  containing  seven  hundred  acres,  a  part  of  which 
constitutes  the  present  farm  owned  by  the  Carpenters  of  Mannington.  Samuel  Smith  had  one  son, 
Pile  Smith,  to  whom  he  left  the  home  farm  called  the  Smith  place,  and  two  daughters,  Ehzabeth 
and  Hannah.  Elizabeth  married  Isaac  Sharp,  and  received  for  her  portion  one  half  of  this  tract  of 
seven  hundred  acres  afterwards  called  the  Josiah  Miller  farm  and  which  belonged  to  their  heirs. 
Preston  Carpenter,  in  right  of  his  wife  Hannah,  received  the  other  half,  on  which  he  resided 
during  the  remainder  of  his  life.  After  his  death  it  was  sold,  when  his  brother-in-law  Joseph  Reeve 
purchased  one  half  and  lived  upon  it  the  remainder  of  his  life.  Henry  Firth  purchased  the  other 
half  and  occupied  it  for  several  years,  until,  being  at  length  obliged  to  sell  it,  it  was  purchased 
back  again  into  the  family  by  William  Carpenter,  who  lived  there  the  remainder  of  his  days  and 
by  will  devised  it  to  his  son  Samuel  Preston  Carpenter,  the  present  owner. 

Preston  Carpenter  was  held  in  high  respect  and  esteem  by  all  who  knew  him.  With  un- 
usual intelligence  and  judgment  he  managed  his  large  farm,  and  at  different  times  held  the  office 
of  commissioner  of  the  Loan  Office,  judge,  and  justice  of  the  peace.  His  docket  containing  the 
original  entries  is  still  preser\'ed,  in  which  he  entered  with  great  particularity  the  births  of  his 
children.  For  example,  "Thomas  Carpenter,  sixth  child  of  Preston  and  Hannah  Carpenter  his 
wife,  was  born  Nov.  2,  N.  S.,  on  fifth  day  about  8  minutes  after  nine  in  the  evening  and  twenty- 
seventh  day  of  the  moon's  age,  at  Salem,  1752."  An  original  warrant  containing  his  autograph 
has  been  preser\'ed,  and  also  several  autograph  letters. — J.  E.  C. 

Hann.\h  Mason,  the  second  wife  of  Preston  Carpenter,  was  the  widow  of  Samuel  Mason 
of  Mannington  Township,  Salem  County,  N.  J.,  son  of  Thomas  \Lason,  of  the  same  place,  whom 
she  married  in  1756.  She  was  a  daughter  of  Ben.  Cripps  and  Mary  Hough.  Benjamin  Cripps  was 
the  son  of  Nathaniel  and  Grace  Cripps,  who  came  to  America  in  1678  and  settled  at  Burlington

maker, the  councillor,  a  member  of  the  Provincial  Assembly,  a  prominent 
man  and  successful  merchant  of  Philadelphia.  Hannah  Shoemaker  died 
May  I,  1766,  and  was  buried  in  Friends  burial  ground. 

S.^Mi'EL  Shoem.\ker  was  born  in  1725;  died  Nov.  10,  i8oo.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Com- 
mon Council  1755,  treasurer  of  the  city  1767-76,  mayor  1769-71-73,  justice  for  the  county  from 
1 761  to  the  Revolution,  attorney  for  the  Pennsylvania  Land  Company  of  London,  director  of  the 
Philadelphia  Contributionship,  member  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society.  He  was  opposed 
to  the  war  not  only  from  principle,  but  from  a  desire  to  remain  under  the  king.  When  the  British 
army  left  Philadelphia  he  went  with  them  to  New  York,  taking  his  younger  son  Edward  with  him. 
Being  known  as  a  confirmed  Tory,  a  part  of  his  estate  was  confiscated.  Just  before  the  British 
evacuation  of  New  York,  he  sailed  for  England  with  his  son.  In  England  he  spent  a  few  days  at 
W  indsor,  with  his  friend  Benjamin  West,  who  had  his  studio  there.  On  one  occasion  he  had  an 
opportunity  of  meeting  the  king,  queen,  and  some  of  the  princesses,  who  visited  West's  studio  to 
see  his  painting  of  "The  Lord's  Supper,"  which  was  just  completed.  They  treated  Mr.  Shoem.\ker 
very  kindly,  and  the  king  asked  him  many  questions  about  the  colonies  and  particularly  con- 
cerning Pennsylvania.  S.4MUEL  Shoemaker  returned  to  America  in  the  spring  of  1786,  and  for 
some  time  lived  at  Burlington,  N.  J.  He  afterwards  removed  to  Philadelphia,  where  he  died 
Oct.  10,  i8oo.  After  the  death  of  his  first  wife  in  1766,  he  married  (2)  Nov.  10,  1767,  Rebecca 
Rawle,  nee  Warner,  daughter  of  Edward  Warner  and  his  wife  Anna  Coleman.  She  died  Dec. 
21,  1819.    Issue,  one  son,  Edward  Shoemaker. 

It  is  remarkable  that  of  the  eleven  children  he  had  by  Hannah  Carpenter,  his  first  wife, 
all  died  young,  unmarried  or  without  issue,  excepting  Benjamin,  who  married  Elizabeth  Warner. 
Of  the  four  children  of  Benjamin,  Anna  alone  left  issue.  The  Shoemakers  came  to  America  from 
Krisheim  in  the  Palatinate,  where  the  original  name  was  Schumacher.  After  a  number  in  this 
vicinity  had  joined  the  Society  of  Friends,  "The  Frankfort  Company"  was  organized,  Francis 
Daniel  Pastorius  being  a  leader,  and  the  first  party  came  over  in  1683.  Several  members  of  the 
Schumacher  family  emigrated  in  this  movement,  Jacob,  Peter  and  the  widow  Sarah  Schumacher, 
with  seven  children,  the  latter  arriving  in  Philadelphia  January  20,  1686,  in  the  ship  "Jeffries," 
from  London;  Thomas  Arnold  master.  The  fourth  of  these  seven  children  was  Isaac,  who  became 
a  tanner  and  lived  in  Germantown.  He  married  Sarah  Hendricks,  born  in  Krisheim,  Germany, 
Oct.  2,  1678;  died  in  Pennsylvania  June  15,  1742;  daughter  of  Gerhard  Hendricks.  Isaac  and

in  1770.    Buried  at  4th  and  Arch  Streets,  Dec.  9,  1770. 

His  will,  dated  Dec.  21,  1767,  gives  his  property  to  his  mother,  his  maiden  sister  Rachel,

of  his  brother  Preston  of  Salem,  N.  J.  (Will  proved  March  26,  1772.)  Thomas  Carpenter 
signed  the  Non-importation  Resolutions.  A  receipt  indicates  that  he  contributed  £6  to  the  Penn- 
sylvania Hospital.  From  some  invoices  and  letters  it  appears  that  Thomas  Carpenter  was  in 
partnership  for  some  time  with  Samuel  Preston  Moore  under  the  name  of  Carpenter  &  Moore.

Ct)c  Carpenter  family 


Ann  Lovibond,  wife  of  Thomas  Carpenter,  was  the  daughter  of  Frederick  Lovibond.  He 
was  an  attorney  at  law  and  writer  to  the  signet.  He  is  said  to  have  been  a  tutor  in  the  family  of 
the  Earl  of  Stair,  and  to  have  eloped  with  Ann,  one  of  the  Earl's  daughters.*  He  came  to  Jamaica, 
probably  from  England,  died  Sept.  17,  1767,  and  his  wife  Ann  was  buried  Dec.  2,  1786;  both  lie  in 
the  Kingston  Parish  churchyard.

1777,  Samuel  Tonkin,  son  of  Edward  Tonkin  and  Mary  Cole,  of  Burling- 
ton Co.,  N.  J.  (his  second  wife). 

Samuel  Tonkin  was  a  lieutenant-colonel  in  the  War  of  the  Revolution;  resided  on  a  farm 
near  the  mouth  of  Oldman's  Creek,  Clossmell,  Gloucester  Co.,  N.  J.,  the  same  occupied  by  Thomas 
Darrach  in  1837.  This  farm  was  the  scene  of  an  execution  in  colonial  times  under  the  provincial 
laws  then  in  force.  A  young  man  convicted  of  stealing  was  hanged  upon  a  tree  still  standing  in 
1837.  Samuel  Tonkin  removed  to  a  farm  in  Upper  Greenwich,  Gloucester  Co.,  where  both  he 
and  his  wife  continued  to  reside  the  remainder  of  their  lives.  He  was  an  enterprising  and  success- 
ful farmer,  and  was  held  in  great  respect  by  the  community  in  which  he  lived. 

Edward  Tonkin,  the  elder,  was  born  in  England  about  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth 
century.    He  emigrated  to  America  and  settled  in  Burlington  Co.,  N.  J.,  prior  to  1685.    He

was  accompanied  by  his  son  John  Tonkin,  and  appears  to  have  been  in  easy  and  thriving 
circumstances.  He  purchased  sundry  tracts  of  land  in  Springfield  Township,  about  two  miles 
north  of  the  city  of  Burlington,  which  descended  to  his  son  John  as  heir-at-law.  Will  proved

Edward  Tonkin  was  a  prominent  and  influential  member  of  the  Episcopal  Church  and  of 
the  vestry  of  St.  Mary's  Church,  Burlington.  An  original  certificate  of  re-survey  of  the  home 
shows  it  contained  558  acres,  while  his  will  says,  "It  was  divided  from  his  other  land."  An  act  of 
the  legislature  was  passed  in  the  fifth  year  of  King  George  the  Third,  authorizing  the  vestry  of 
St.  Mary's  Church  to  sell  certain  lands  held  in  trust,  and  re-invest  the  proceeds  for  the  same  uses,

ing and  triangular  lot  of  ground  comprised  between  the  roads  leading  to  MuUica's  Hill,  Barnsboro,

that  Captain  Talman,  while  in  command  of  a  large  ship  homeward  bound,  was  captured  by  an 
armed  piratical  schooner.  The  pirates  loaded  their  vessel  from  the  valuable  cargo,  unhung  the 
rudder  of  the  ship  to  disable  her,  and,  taking  with  them  all  of  the  ship's  crew  except  Captain 
Talman  and  his  cabin  boy,  sailed  away  to  their  rendezvous,  intending  to  return  for  another  load; 
but  the  captain  and  his  boy  by  great  efforts  succeeded  in  re-hanging  the  rudder,  made  sail  on  the 
ship,  and  brought  her  safely  into  port.

25.  Thomas  Carpenter-*  (of  Carpenter's  Landing)  (Preston  Car- 
penter^  Samuel  Carpenter,  2d-,  Samuel  Carpenter^),  bom  Nov.  2,  1752; 
died  July  7,  1847;  married  April  13,  1774,  by  Rev.  Jonathan  Odell,  rector 
of  St.  Mary's  Church,  Burlington,  N.  J.,  Mary  Tonkin,  daughter  of  Edward 
Tonkin,  2d,  and  Mary  Cole.  Before  the  ceremony,  he  was  required,  under 
the  colonial  law  then  in  force,  to  execute  a  bond  with  security  that  no  im- 
pediment existed,  which  bond  still  remains  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  Sec- 
retary of  State  at  Trenton. 

Thomas  Carpenter  served  an  apprenticeship  in  an  auction  store  at  the  comer  of  Front 
and  South  Streets,  Philadelphia.  Auctions,  being  prohibited  within  the  iurisdiction  of  the  City 
Councils,  were  conducted  outside  the  southern  boundary  of  the  city.  He  formed  an  early  attach- 
ment to  Mary  Tonkin  and  was  but  twenty-one  years  and  five  months  old  when  they  were  married. 
He  commenced  life  upon  a  farm  belonging  to  his  grandfather,  called  the  Smith  farm,  near  the 
Salem  County  almshouse,  in  Salem  County. 

In  the  early  stages  of  the  War  of  the  Revolution  he  was  commissioned  paymaster  of  the  militia 
of  the  counties  of  Salem  and  Gloucester.  His  commission  bears  date  March  19,  1777.  He  was 
also  quartermaster  of  the  first  battalion  of  Salem  troops,  commanded  by  his  friend  Col.  Samuel 
Dick,  M.D.,  a  prominent  and  patriotic  citizen  of  Salem,  where  he  had  a  large  and  lucrative  prac- 
tice as  a  physician.  Being  one  of  the  staff  of  Colonel  Dick,  Thomas  Carpenter  was  present  at 
the  successful  retreat  of  the  American  army  from  the  banks  of  the  Assanpink  around  the  flank  of 
the  British  army,  on  the  night  of  January  3,  1777.  This  movement  so  successfully  accomplished, 
whereby  General  Washington  withdrew  his  undisciplined  troops  from  the  front  of  a  powerful 
British  army,  to  a  position  in  the  rear,  where  he  threatened  its  communications  and  stores,  and 
finally  placed  them  in  secure  winter  quarters  near  Morristown,  without  serious  loss,  has  received 
the  commendation  of  the  best  historians  and  military  critics.  The  chagrin  of  the  enterprising 
British  general,  upon  finding  he  had  been  outgeneraled  by  the  enemy  he  professed  to  despise,  may 
be  imagined. 

The  personal  recollections  of  these  events  by  Thomas  Carpenter,  as  he  used  to  relate  them, 
were  substantially  as  follows: 

The  American  army,  commanded  by  General  Washington,  was  encamped  on  the  south  side 
of  the  Assanpink  Creek,  a  narrow  stream  fordable  in  many  places  within  the  limits  of  the  City  of 
Trenton.  Lord  Cornwallis,  intent  upon  the  destruction  of  his  adversary',  arrived  and  encamped  on 
the  opposite  bank  late  in  the  afternoon  prepared  to  give  battle  the  next  morning.  All  the  avail- 
able detaclunents  in  South  Jersey  had  been  hurried  up  to  reinforce  General  Wasliington.  The 
weather  was  warm  and  rainy,  and  the  roads  almost  impassable.  Colonel  Dick's  battalion  marched 
from  Salem  through  Woodbur>',  Haddonfield,  Mount  Holly,  and  Recklestown  to  join  the  army; 
but,  delayed  by  the  bad  roads  and  the  breaking  of  an  axle  of  a  field  gun,  did  not  arrive  in  camp 
until  late  in  the  evening.  About  the  time  of  their  arrival,  the  wind  changed  and  it  soon  became 
intensely  cold.  Having  secured  comfortable  quarters  with  other  officers  in  a  neighboring  house. 
Carpenter  loaned  his  overcoat  to  one  of  his  less  fortunate  companions  who  had  left  his  own  with 
the  baggage  in  the  rear.  At  midnight  an  officer  detailed  to  look  up  stragglers  entered  the  apart- 
ments and  informed  them  that  the  army  was  no  longer  there,  had  been  gone  an  hour,  and  they 
must  immediately  mount  and  follow.  Washington,  afraid  to  risk  a  battle  with  his  army,  composed 
largely  of  raw,  undisciplined  troops,  had  taken  advantage  of  the  darkness  and  frozen  roads  to 
break  up  his  encampment,  leaving  his  camp  fires  burning  to  deceive  the  enemy,  and  marched,  by 
a  by-road  called  the  "Old  Quaker  Road,"  around  the  flank  of  the  British  army,  on  Princeton.  In 
this  emergency  Thomas  Carpenter  had  nothing  but  a  blanket  which  he  tied  around  his  neck 
and  waist  with  handkerchiefs, — a  poor  defence  against  the  piercing  cold,  from  which  he  suffered

greatly.  His  party  overtook  the  army  near  Princeton,  where  a  sharp  engagement  took  place  be- 
tween the  head  of  the  column  and  two  regiments  of  Hessians  that  were  marching  to  reinforce  the 
British  army  at  Trenton.  The  noise  of  the  firing  was  the  first  notice  to  Lord  Cornwallis  that  the 
Revolutionary  army  had  left  its  position  on  the  Assanpink,  and  was  then  twelve  miles  in  his  rear 
directly  on  the  line  of  his  communications.  After  the  action  was  over  Mr.  Carpenter,  in  company 
with  Colonel  Dick,  called  upon  General  Mercer,  who  had  received  a  mortal  wound  and  was  lying 
pale  and  sufTering  in  his  tent.  It  was  the  intention  of  General  Washington  to  seize  the  stores  of  the 
British  army  at  New  Brunswick,  but  the  accidental  encounter  at  Princeton  disconcerted  his 
plans.  Unable  to  cope  with  the  British  forces  in  hot  pursuit,  he  continued  his  retreat  and  estab- 
lished himself  in  secure  winter  quarters  in  the  vicinity  of  Morristown. 

The  detachment  commanded  by  Colonel  Dick  was  discharged  on  the  completion  of  its  term 
of  service.  Dr.  Dick  became  a  member  of  the  New  Jersey  Assembly.  Thom.\s  Carpenter, 
detailed  for  the  duty,  was  actively  engaged  in  purchasing  and  forwarding  supplies  for  the  use  of 
the  army.  The  winter  of  1777  was  exceptionally  severe.  The  snow  fell  at  frequent  intervals,  en- 
abling him  to  dispatch  long  trains  of  sleds  laden  with  provisions  and  forage  from  time  to  time  from 
the  lower  counties  of  the  State  to  the  encampment  at  Morristown.  Whenever  the  roads  would 
begin  to  wear  out,  a  providential  fall  of  snow  would  make  them  good. 

Here  is  a  copy  of  a  letter  from  "Light-Horse  Harry  Lee"  to  Thomas  Carpenter,  purchas- 
ing commissioner.* 

Burlington,  Jan.  17,  1780. 
Sir: — 

I  have  written  to  the  Magistrates  of  Salem  County  begging  them  to  aid  you  in  the  immediate 
conveyance  of  the  flour  to  camp. 

Send  on  what  is  already  manufactured  with  hurry,  expedite  the  manufacture  of  the  remain- 
der and  then  convey  it  to  Mr.  Thomas  at  the  "Black  Horse."  If  the  river  should  open  send  it  to 
Trenton.  You  must  procure  drivers  to  go  to  camp  with  your  cattle,  or  at  any  rate  to  the  "Black 
Horse"  where  Mr.  Thomas  will  take  charge  of  them.  For  God's  sake  perform  this  business  with 
all   possible   despatch. 

I  am  Sir, 

Your  obedient 

(Signed)  Henry  Lee,  Jr.

Thomas  Carpenter  visited  Red  Bank  on  the  next  morning  after  the  battle  in  which  Count 
Donop  and  his  Hessians  were  so  signally  defeated  by  Colonel  Greene,  and  saw  the  wounded  com- 
mander and  the  dead  and  wounded  Hessians  that  encumbered  the  Whitall  House,  the  lawn,  and 
the  ground  about  the  fort.  The  house  is  still  standing  and  plainly  shows  the  mark  of  a  cannon- 
ball  which  pierced  its  wall  during  the  action.  Many  of  the  dead  and  wounded  were  shot  in  the 
back  in  their  efforts  to  escape  from  the  trap  in  which  they  had  been  caught. 

In  the  year  1785  he  removed  to  Cooper's  Point  and  engaged  in  mercantile  business.  A 
curious  set  of  bullet-moulds  for  casting  musket-balls  and  buckshot  has  been  preserved,  which  he 
made  use  of  at  that  time  to  supply  Ivis  customers  with  buckshot  to  shoot  the  deer  which  were 
then  plenty  in  the  forests  of  New  Jersey.  It  is  now  in  the  possession  of  General  L.  H.  Carpenter, 
is  in  e.xcellent  preservation,  and  bears  upon  the  handles  the  initials  T.  C.  1786  E.  C.  1834.  He 
remained  at  Cooper's  Point  about  two  years.  From  thence,  having  formed  a  partnership  with  Col- 
onel Thomas  Heston,  his  wife's  nephew  by  marriage,  he  removed  to  Carpenter's  Landing  (now 
called  Mantua).  Heston  and  Carpenter  built  and  established  a  large  glass  manufactory  at  Glass- 
borough,  where  they  acquired  a  large  landed  property.  A  store  and  lumber  business  were  also 
maintained  and  carried  on  at  Carpenter's  Landing.  The  business  was  successfully  prosecuted 
until  the  death  of  Colonel  Heston.    The  property  was  then  divided,  Thomas  Carpenter  retired,

and  was  succeeded  by  his  son  Edward,  by  whom  it  was  continued  until  his  death  in  1813.  Glass- 
borough  is  still  distinguished  for  its  glass  factories,  and  has  become  a  large  and  flourishing  village 
under  the  auspices  of  the  descendants  of  Colonel  Heston. 

Thomas  Carpenter  continued  to  reside  at  Carpenter's  Landing  the  remainder  of  his  life. 
He  was  about  five  feet  ten  inches  high,  with  large  frame  but  not  corpulent,  erect,  well-formed, 
with  a  fine  ruddy  complexion.  His  eyes  were  blue,  hair  thin,  but  not  bald,  originally  brown,  and, 
though  tinged  with  gray,  never  became  white.  He  was  fond  of  reading,  intelligent,  and  self-pos- 
sessed. His  affable  and  genial  manners,  anecdotes,  and  reminiscences  made  his  society  very  attrac- 
tive. He  wore  a  brown  cloth  coat  of  Quaker  pattern,  velvet  small  clothes  (breeches)  with  silver 
knee-buckles,  black  silk  stockings  gartered  above  the  knees,  short  quartered  shoes  with  large  silver 
buckles,  or  fair  top-boots,  vest  with  lapels  and  pockets  reaching  to  the  hips,  and  the  Quaker 
broad-rimmed  hat.  The  buckles,  silk  stockings,  and  fair  top-boots  in  later  years  gave  place  to 
plain  trousers  and  boots. 

Mary  Carpenter,  wife  of  Thomas  Carpenter,  was  a  little  below  medium  height,  with 
dark  hazel  eyes,  brown  hair,  and  a  fine  clear  brunette  complexion.  Her  figure  was  good,  erect, 
well-proportioned,  inclined  to  embonpoint,  and  she  was  reputed  to  have  been  very  handsome. 
Her  father's  family  were  Episcopalians,  but  she  with  her  husband  joined  the  Friends.  She  was 
remarkably  neat  in  her  personal  appearance — wore  the  Quaker  cap  and  silk  bonnet,  brown  silk 
dress,  and  a  light  silk  neckerchief  crossed  upon  the  bosom.  She  had  a  handsome  wedding  outfit. 
The  white  satin  slippers,  with  pointed  toes  and  heels  more  than  two  inches  high,  worn  at  her  wed- 
ding were  long  preserved  as  mementos. 

Both  Thomas  and  Mary  Carpenter  He  buried  in  the  cemetery  adjoining  the  Friends  meet- 
ing house  at  Woodbury,  N.  J.  Their  graves  adjoin  each  other  on  the  north  side  of  the  enclosure, 
about  midway,  and  near  the  boundary  fence,  each  designated  by  a  small  marble,  with  name  on 
its  top.    Lately  a  stone  retaining  wall  has  been  placed  there  for  their  protection. 

Thomas  Carpenter  left  no  will.  The  farm  at  Carpenter's  Landing  was  divided  and  sold 
in  parcels  after  his  death.  The  mansion,  garden,  orchard,  and  adjacent  grounds,  with  the  build- 
ings, were  purchased  by  Charles  Martel,  whose  family  still  own  and  occupy  them. 

Note. — Thomas  Carpenter  was  adjutant  of  Colonel  Dick's  battalion  in  the  Princeton  and 
Trenton  campaign  from  November,  1776,  to  the  latter  part  of  January,  1777;  afterwards  quarter- 
master. He  was  for  a  time  ensign  of  Captain  Roanes'  company  of  Dick's  battalion.  (See  petition 
of  Thomas  Carpenter  for  a  pension.)

George  Tonkin,  one  of  the  children  and  heirs  at  law  of  William  C.  Tonkin, 
at  Carpenter's  Landing.  This  house  was  built  by  his  father  for  the  newly 
married  couple.  It  stands  in  the  forks  of  the  roads  leading  to  Barnes- 
borough  and  Mullica  Hill,  directly  in  front  of  the  old  Carpenter  mansion. 

His  father  was  then  engaged  in  active  business  with  Colonel  Thomas  Heston,  in  partnership 
under  the  firm  name  of  Heston  &  Carpenter,  Colonel  Heston  residing  at  Glassborough  and  Thomas 
Carpenter  at  Carpenter's  Landing.  The  death  of  Colonel  Heston  dissolved  the  firm.  Thomas 
Carpenter  retired  from  business  and  was  succeeded  by  his  son.  The  new  house,  store,  and  ad- 
jacent land  were  sold  to  John  and  William  C.  Tonkin. 

Edward  Carpenter  removed  to  Glassborough,  where  he  devoted  himself  with  energy  and 
intelligence  to  the  prosecution  of  the  business  of  manufacturing  glassware.  He  was  taken  ill  of 
typhus  fever  on  his  way  home  from  Philadelphia,  and  died  at  his  father's  house  in  Carpenter's 
Landing,  in  the  midst  of  his  successful  career,  on  the  13th  of  March,  1813. 

He  was  about  five  feet  ten  inches  high,  erect,  active,  vigorous,  with  dark  complexion,  dark 
hazel  eyes,  brown  hair,  and  handsome  presence.  A  miniature  painted  while  a  very  young  man,  the 
only  portrait  extant,  is  in  the  possession  of  Mrs.  Malcolm  Lloyd,  of  Philadelphia,  a  granddaughter. 
Sarah  Stratton  Carpenter,  wife  of  Edward  Carpenter,  was  born  Sept.  30,  1781.  in  the 
brick  house  now  occupied  by  the  family  of  John  Welsh  in  South  Swedesboro.  She  was  educated 
under  the  care  and  instruction  of  Rev.  John  Croes,  afterwards  Bishop  of  the  Diocese  of  New  Jer- 
sey, who  was  rector  of  Trinity  Church,  Swedesboro,  for  twelve  years.  To  finish  her  education, 
she  was  sent  to  Philadelphia  and  lived  in  the  family  of  Mr.  Charles  French,  half  brother  to  her 
stepmother,  who  resided  on  Front  Street  above  Arch.  She  married  Edward  Carpenter  on  Sept. 
5,  1799,  and  survived  her  husband  many  years.  After  the  death  of  her  husband  she  removed  to 
the  village  of  Woodbury,  and  resided  there  about  eight  years.  On  the  death  of  her  mother-in-law, 
Mary  Carpenter,  August  5,  1822.  she  broke  up  her  establishment  and  removed  with  her  children 
to  the  home  of  her  father-in-law  at  Carpenter's  Landing,  where  she  remained  until  his  death  in 
1847.  The  remaining  years  of  her  life  were  passed  with  her  children.  Her  eyes  were  blue;  hair 
brown,  very  luxuriant,  and  never  turned  gray.  A  good  figure,  tall,  erect,  graceful,  quiet,  dignified, 
with  a  captivating  manner  and  possessing  extraordinary  powers  of  conversation.  She  died  at  the 
residence  of  her  son  Edward  Carpenter,  2d,  317  South  15th  Street,  Philadelphia,  on  the  12th  day 
of  February,  1852. 

Both  Edward  and  Sarah  Carpenter  lie  in  the  old  grave-yard  of  Trinity  Church,  Swedes-

From  a  miniature  in  the  possession  of  tbe  family 


Cl^c  Carpenter  family 


THE   STRATTON   FAMILY. 

The  Stratton  Family,  to  which  Sarah  Stratton,  who  married  Edward  Carpenter,  be- 
longed, is  derived  from  Puritan  ancestors  who  emigrated  from  Maidstone  in  the  County  of  Kent, 
on  the  east  bank  of  the  River  Medway,  about  thirty  miles  southeast  of  the  City  of  London,  although 
there  is  reason  to  believe  that  the  family  was  originally  located  in  Suffolk  County,  England  They 
settled  at  East  Hampton,  Long  Island,  upon  lands  purchased  from  the  Indians  for  their  benefit, 
in  1648,  by  Theophilus  Eaton,  Governor  of  the  Colony  of  New  Haven,  and  Edward  Hopkins, 
Governor  of  the  Colony  of  Connecticut,  who  assigned  the  same  to  them,  in  165 1,  for  £30  8s.  4d. 

Nine  original  settlers  arrived  in  1648.  Of  these  the  first  six  came  from  Lynn,  Mass.,  and  the

Governor  of  New  Jersey,  1S44-4S 


Ci^e  Carpenter  family 


THE   HOWE   FAMILY. 

About  the  middle  of  the  eighteenth  century  two  brothers,  Robert  Howe  and  John  Howe, 
emigrated  from  England  to  this  country.  They  came  from  Suffolk,  where  the  name  was  pro- 
nounced as  if  it  were  accented  on  the  final  letter,  and  it  was  spelled  later  "Howey  "  in  New  Jersey 
for  this  reason.  They  were  the  younger  of  three  brothers,  and  went  to  America  to  improve  their 
fortunes.  The  eldest  remained  in  England.  John  Howe  settled  in  Pennsylvania  and  probably 
resided  in  Philadelphia.  Robert,  his  brother,  purchased  a  large  tract  of  land  situated  on  the  north 
bank  of  Oldman's  Creek  about  one  mile  east  of  the  point  where  it  ceases  to  be  navigable,  in  Glou- 
cester County,  N.  J.,  on  which  he  built  a  dwelling,  cleared  and  cultivated  a  farm,  and  resided 
during  the  remainder  of  his  life.  He  was  living  in  1797.  A  ledger  of  Dr.  James  Stratton  has  a 
charge  against  him,  for  professional  services,  of  that  date.  He  married  Mary  Troth,  of  Haddonfield, 
N.  J.,  born  May,  1731.  Both  were  respected  members  of  the  religious  Society  of  Friends.  She 
died  March  7,  1819,  eighty-seven  years  and  ten  months  old. 

The  children  of  Robert  Howe  and  Mary  Troth  were  seven  in  number.  The  descent  is  through 
Isaac,  the  fourth  child.  Of  the  other  children  we  have  found  but  few  records  and  but  little  definite 
information.

THE   HOPKINS   FAMILY. 

Towards  the  latter  part  of  the  seventeenth  century,  John  Haddon,  a  wealthy  iron-worker 
or  anchorsmith,  lived  in  Rotherhithe,  Southwark,  a  suburb  of  the  city  of  London  on  the  east 
side  of  the  River  Thames  He  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  and  had  suffered  in  the 
general  persecution  of  those  who  had  adopted  the  doctrines  of  Fox.  In  1698,  having  become  in- 
terested in  the  movement  to  America,  he  purchased  some  land  in  New  Jersey,  followed  by  another 
purchase  in  the  same  year  of  about  500  acres  in  Newton  Township.  John  Haddon  and  his  wife 
Elizabeth  had  two  children,  Sarah,  who  married  Benjamin  Hopkins,  a  wine  merchant  of  the  city 
of  London,  and  Elizabeth,  who  was  bom  in  1682. 

In  1 701,  at  the  age  of  18,  Elizabeth  Haddon,  being  moved  by  the  Spirit  to  endeavor  to  evan- 
gelize the  Indians,  left  her  home  and  came  to  New  Jersey,  where  her  father's  possessions  were 
located.  This  step  taken  by  a  girl  so  young  was  extraordinary,  and  showed  an  unusual  self- 
reliance,  resolution,  and  courage,  although  it  is  hinted  that  she  may  have  been  induced  in  no  small 
degree  by  other  reasons  which  were  more  clearly  developed  later. 

John  Estaugh,  bom  in  Kelvedon,  Essex  County,  England,  Second  Month  23,  1676,  came  to 
live  at  Rotherhithe  and  was  a  frequent  visitor  at  John  Haddon's  house,  where  he  met  Elizabeth. 
He  was  a  young  man  of  great  promise  and  ability,  an  accepted  minister  among  the  Friends  at 
that  early  age,  an  unusually  effective  preacher,  and,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Meeting,  went  to 
America  on  a  rehgious  visit  Seventh  Month  28,  1700.  On  her  arrival  in  New  Jersey,  Elizabeth 
Haddon  estabhshed  her  residence  temporarily  on  the  site  of  the  present  town  of  Haddonfield, 
named  after  her,  and  later  built  a  commodious  house  of  brick,  which  after  being  occupied  by  sev- 
eral generations  was  unfortunately  destroyed  by  fire  in  1842.  On  Eighth  Month  i,  1702,  John 
Estaugh  and  Elizabeth  Haddon  were  married,  and  Samuel  Carpenter  was  one  of  the  witnesses 
signing  the  marriage  certificate.  They  lived  here  for  forty  years,  managed  their  property  with 
■  great  judgment,  occupied  an  enviable  position  and  influence  in  the  community,  and  their  union 
seemed  to  be  a  perfectly  harmonious  and  congenial  one.  Estaugh  felt  called  upon  to  make  many 
religious  visits  to  England,  Ireland,  New  England,  and  the  West  Indies.  In  one  of  these  he  died 
at  Tortola,  in  the  West  Indies,  Tenth  Month  6,  1742.  Elizabeth  Estaugh  also  made  several  jour- 
neys to  England  to  visit  her  aged  parents,  when  crossing  the  ocean  was  a  trying  ordeal. 

John  Haddon  died  in  1723,  and  with  his  wife  Elizabeth  was  buried  at  Long  Lane  Burying- 
Ground  near  London.  Elizabeth  Estaugh  survived  her  husband  nearly  twenty  years,  dying 
March  30,  1762,  in  the  eightieth  year  of  her  age.  Having  no  children,  she  had  adopted  her 
nephew  Ebenezer  Hopkins,  born  Fourth  Month,  1 7 1 8.  married  Second  Month,  1 737,  Sarah,  daughter 
of  James  Lord,  of  Woodbury  Creek,  died  intestate  Fourth  Month,  1757.  Elizabeth  Estaugh  left 
the  most  of  her  real  estate  to  the  children  of  Ebenezer  Hopkins.    They  were:  John  Estaugh  Hop-

kins,  bom  1738,  died  1812,  married  Sarah  Mickle,  Elizabeth  E=taugh  Hopkins,  born  1739,  died 
1790,  married  1762  John  Mickle,  Haddon  Hopkins,  born  1743,  died  1768,  married  1766,  out  of 
meeting,  Hannah  Stokes,  Ebenezer  Hopkins,  born  1745,  died  1796,  married  1764  Ann  Albertson,

married  Joshua  Cresson,  and  Ann  Hopkins,  born  1757,  died  1833,  married  1793  Marmaduke 
Burr.  It  is  said  that  the  will  of  Elizabeth  Estaugh  shows  her  fine  business  ability.  It  exhibits 
a  thorough  knowledge  of  her  estate,  and  in  the  disposition  of  it  great  judgment  and  discretion. 

The  descent  is  through  John  Estaugh  Hopkins,  who  married  Sarah  Mickle  1762.  They  had 
seven  children,  among  whom  was  James  Hopkins,  born  1763,  died  1826,  married  1784  Rebecca 
Clements,  daughter  of  Sarah  and  Beulah  Clements.  The  Clements  family  trace  their  descent 
from  Gregory  Clements,  a  citizen  of  London,  merchant  and  trader  with  Spain,  member  of  Parlia- 
ment in  1646,  one  of  the  judges  by  whom  Charles  I  was  sentenced  to  death.  He  was  convicted  of 
treason,  after  the  Restoration,  and  executed  at  Charing  Cross,  London,  Oct.  17,  1660.  A  son  of 
James  Hopkins  and  Rebecca  Clement — viz.,  Samuel  Clement  Hopkins,  M.D.,  born  1786,  died 
1818 — married  1812  (out  of  meeting),  in  Lancaster,  Pa.,  Susan  Barton,  bom  Sept.,  1788,  died 
Jan.,  1869,  daughter  of  William  Barton  and  Elizabeth  Rhea  Barton. 

The  grandfather  of  Susan  Barton,  the  Rev.  Thomas  Barton,  was  a  native  of  Ireland,  born  in 
1730  in  the  County  Monaghan,  descended  from  an  English  family,  who  in  the  time  of  Charles  I 
obtained  considerable  grants  of  land  in  Ireland,  being  possessed  thereby  of  an  ample  estate. 
Later,  through  the  vicissitudes  of  the  times,  they  suffered  heavy  losses  and  their  prospects  were 
ruined,  nevertheless  Thomas  Barton  acquired  an  excellent  education  and  graduated  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Dublin.  Soon  after  he  came  to  Philadelpliia,  where  he  became  a  tutor  in  the  Academy 
of  Philadelphia  connected  with  the  College  of  Pliiladelphia,  which  afterwards  became  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania.  December  8,  1753,  at  the  old  Swedes  Church  he  married  Esther  Ritten- 
house,  the  sister  of  the  celebrated  astronomer  David  Rittenhouse,  of  Philadelphia,  born  173 1, 
died  June  18,  1774.  He  married  (2)  1776  the  widow  of  Dr.  DeNormandy,  nee  Bard.  Barton  was 
very  intimate  and  much  interested  with  Rittenhouse,  and  gave  him  assistance  and  encouragement 
in  the  early  part  of  his  career,  when  it  was  most  needed.  In  1754  he  went  to  England  to  be  or- 
dained, as  there  was  no  bishop  in  this  country,  and  returned  to  America  as  a  missionary  of  the 
Society  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel,  and  remained  connected  with  it  until  1759.  He  carried 
on  his  missionary  work  in  the  Counties  of  York  and  Lancaster,  Pa.,  with  great  success,  and  in 
1758  accompanied,  as  chaplain,  the  expedition  against  Fort  du  Quesne  (now  Pittsburgh),  under 
General  Archibald  Forbes.  At  this  time  he  became  personally  acquainted  with  Washington, 
Forbes,  Mercer,  and  many  other  officers.  In  1759  Barton  removed  to  Lancaster  and  became 
rector  of  St.  James,  and  remained  there  for  nearly  twenty  years,  gaining  a  great  reputation  as  a 
teacher  and  preacher  of  the  Gospel,  going  often  to  York  and  Carlisle  as  part  of  his  care.  People 
are  said  to  have  come  fifty  or  sixty  miles  to  hear  him  preach,  and  he  awakened  great  enthusiasm 
and  zeal,  and  "was  unusually  beloved  by  the  community."  The  hard  work  injured  his  health. 
In  revolutionar>'  times  his  adherence  to  the  royalist  party  and  refusal  to  take  the  oath  of  alle- 
giance to  the  colonial  cause  compelled  him  to  quit  his  post  and  remove  to  New  York,  where  he 
died  25  May,  1780,  aged  fifty,  and  was  buried  in  the  chancel  of  St.  George's  Chapel,  New  York.  , 
His  wife  survived  him  a  long  time.    He  had  eight  children.

land to  complete  his  education.  He  left  England  in  1778  and  returned  to  America  by  way  of 
Holland  and  the  West  Indies.  Landing  at  Baltimore  Jan.  8,  1779,  he  actively  espoused  the  cause 
of  the  colonists,  taking  the  oath  of  allegiance.  Soon  after  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Lancaster, 
was  a  member  of  Captain  Shelter's  Company  of  Associators  in  1782,  and  soon  acquired  a  reputa- 
tion as  a  man  of  ability  and  energ\'.    Aug.  18,  1789,  he  was  nominated  by  President  Washington

The  "Fancy  Hill"  property,  for  more  than  two  centuries  in  the  possession  of  the  family,  was 
known  by  this  name  for  many  years  before  Colonel  Joshua  Ladd  Howell  built  the  house  which 
those  of  the  older  generation  still  remember  as  the  old  homestead.  The  house  was  built  in  1805 
and  was  destroyed  by  fire  in  1909.  Prior  to  its  destruction  it,  as  well  as  most  of  the  property 
which  in  former  times  comprised  the  plantation,  had  been  sold  out  of  the  family,  and  a  few  hun- 
dred acres  of  pine  woods  are  all  that  now  remain  of  wliat  was  once  a  large  estate. 

Situate  on  the  New  Jersey  shore  of  the  Delaware,  opposite  the  lower  part  of  Philadelphia, 
on  the  bank  above  Howell's  Cove,  the  house  commanded  an  e.xtensive  view  of  the  river.  A  long, 
low,  brick  house  with  high-ceilinged  halls,  airy  rooms,  and  carved  mantels,  it  was  a  fine  specimen 
of  the  old  colonial  mansion.  Between  the  house  and  the  river  lay  the  garden  and  lawn.  Many  of 
the  shrubs  and  plants  were  originally  brought  from  England  and  planted  at  "Candor  Hall,"  from 
whence  they  were  removed  to  "Fancy  Hill;"  much  of  the  furniture  and  many  of  the  ornaments 
had  come  from  England  in  the  early  days.  Here  Colonel  Howell  entertained  the  members  of  the 
Gloucester  Fox-hunting  Club,  the  officers  of  the  navy  whose  ships  from  time  to  time  lay  off  the 
cove,  and  his  military  friends  of  the  War  of  1812.  Captain  Lawrence,  of  the  ill-fated  "Chesa- 
peake," in  remembrance  of  the  hospitality  enjoyed  at  Fancy  Hill,  shortly  before  his  last  voyage 
sent  a  portrait  of  himself  which  still  remains  in  the  possession  of  the  family.  Tales  still  told  re- 
count the  notable  gatherings  at  the  colonel's  hospitable  board;  letters  still  preserved  describe 
events  happening  throughout  the  world  in  those  stirring  days,  told  to  the  master  of  Fancy  Hill  by 
the  actors  themselves.  The  hedges  of  box-wood,  the  orchards,  shaded  walks,  and  old-fashioned 
gardens  had  their  origin  in  the  formative  period  of  the  republic. 

In  the  cove  below  the  house  were  conducted  for  many  years  the  fisheries  which  in  former 
times  constituted  an  important  and  valuable  adjunct  to  the  property.  North  of  the  cove  were  the 
West  Point  fisheries,  originally  the  property  of  the  Ladds,  but  later  acquired  by  Colonel  Howell. 
The  fisheries  were  sold  when  the  property  was  divided  and  eventually  disposed  of,  in  the  latter 
part  of  the  last  century. 

The  ancestor  of  the  family  in  America  was  John  Howell,  who  in  1697  emigrated  from  Aber- 
istwith,  Cardiganshire,  Wales,  and  settled  near  the  centre  of  Philadelphia.  He  was  accompanied  by 
three  children,  Jacob,  Evan,  and  Sarah.  Like  so  many  of  the  early  settlers  in  and  around  Phila- 
delphia, he  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends. 

Jacob  Howell,  son  of  the  emigrant,  removed  to  Chester  in  1707,  where  he  engaged  in  the  busi- 
ness of  tanning.  In  1709  he  married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Randal  and  Sarah  Vernon.  The  Vernons 
were  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  and  Randal  Vernon  was  a  man  of  prominence  both  in  the 
affairs  of  the  society  and  in  provincial  matters.  Emigrating  to  this  country  in  1682,  shortly  be- 
fore William  Penn,  Vernon's  name  frequently  appears  among  the  records,  and  in  1687  he  served  as 
a  member  of  the  Provincial  Assembly.  Jacob  Howell  was  successful  in  business,  and  in  1722  was 
rated  as  one  of  the  largest  tax-payers  in  Chester.  He  was  treasurer  of  the  Chester  County  Meeting, 
a  recommended  minister  of  the  society,  and  during  years  actively  employed  in  its  service. 

Jacob  and  Sarah  Vernon  Howell  had  a  son  John,  their  third  child.  Born  in  1713,  he  married 
January  25,  1733,  Katharine  Ladd,  and  after  his  marriage  settled  in  Woodbury,  N.  J.  His  wife 
was  the  daughter  of  John  Ladd,  who  with  other  Friends  arrived  at  Burlington,  N.  J.,  in  1678.

€\:^t  Carpenter  family 


John  Ladd  was  one  of  the  Council  of  Proprietors  and  assisted  William  Penn  in  laying  out  the  city 
of  Philadelphia.  Soon  after  his  arrival  he  built  "Candor  Hall,"  a  mile  northeast  of  Woodbury, 
and  gradually  became  the  owner  of  large  tracts  of  land  in  Gloucester  County.  A  considerable 
part  of  his  holdings  came  into  the  Howell  family  by  marriage  and  purchase.  In  view  of  the  con- 
nection between  the  Howell  and  Carpenter  families,  it  is  a  curious  coincidence  that  his  son  Samuel 
purchased  from  the  widow  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  in  1714,  400  acres  of  land  south  of  Timber  Creek 
and  fronting  on  the  Delaware  River  (including  the  present  hamlet  of  Westville),  and  that  his 
grandson  sold  the  West  Point  Fishery  to  Colonel  Joshua  Ladd  Howell  in  181 1.  One  of  Ladd's 
sons  left  several  hundred  acres  to  his  nephew  John  Ladd  Howell,  with  provision  that  he  should 
take  1,600  acres  more  after  the  death  of  the  testator's  widow.  While  no  attempt  has  been  made  to 
compute  the  real  estate  holdings  of  John  Ladd  and  his  sons,  they  included  many  thousands  of 
acres,  and  the  family  was  one  of  the  oldest  and  best  known  in  that  part  of  the  State  called  West 
New  Jersey. 

John  and  Katharine  Ladd  Howell  had  a  son,  John  Ladd  Howell,  born  March  15,  1739,  who 
was  apprenticed  to  his  uncle  Joshua  Howell,  a  merchant  in  Philadelphia.  In  April,  1760,  he  was 
one  of  "His  Majesty's  justices  of  the  peace  in  West  New  Jersey."  At  the  opening  of  the  Revolu- 
tion he  had  become  a  merchant  of  prominence  in  Philadelphia,  and  at  various  times  during  the 
war  he  was  commissary  of  purchases  for  the  Continental  Army.  In  1776  he  was  directed  by  the 
Committee  of  Safety  to  inspect  the  powder-mills  which  supplied  the  Revolutionary  forces,  and  in 
1778  and  1779  under  direction  of  the  Board  of  War  was  engaged  in  collecting  and  forwarding  sup- 
plies. In  1779  he  apparently  acted  as  aide-de-camp  to  General  Ellis  with  the  rank  of  colonel,  and  in 
1780  was  judge  advocate  in  various  courts-martial.  He  was  with  the  army  on  numerous  occasions; 
on  the  march  of  Colonel  St.  Clair  towards  Canada  (as  far  as  Albany),  at  Dover,  Middletown, 
Head  of  Elk,  Sassafras  River,  Valley  Forge,  and  Philadelphia.  In  1780  he  established  his  residence 
at  Candor  Hall,  where  he  lived  till  the  time  of  his  death  in  1785.  His  wife,  Frances  Paschall,  of 
Darby,  was  the  daughter  of  Dr.  John  Paschall  and  Frances  Hodges,  the  former  being  descended 
from  Thomas  Paschall,  who  came  from  Bristol,  England,  in  168 1 -1682,  bringing  with  him  a  grant 
of  500  acres  of  land,  which  he  located  on  Cobb's  Creek  near  what  is  now  Paschall ville,  and  who, 
in  1691,  was  one  of  the  twelve  members  of  the  Council  of  Philadelphia. 

John  Ladd  and  Frances  Paschall  Howell  had  a  son,  Joshua  Ladd  Howell,  born  in  Philadel- 
phia in  1762.  As  above  stated,  the  family  moved  to  "Candor  Hall"  about  1780,  and  from  then 
till  his  father's  death  in  1785  he  assisted  the  latter  in  the  management  of  his  large  estate.  In  1786 
he  married  Anna  Blackwood,  daughter  of  Samuel  Blackwood  and  Abigail  Clement.  Samuel 
Blackwood  was  the  son  of  John  Blackwood,  who  emigrated  from  Scotland  in  the  early  part  of 
1700  and  established  mills  at  the  head  of  Timber  Creek  in  Gloucester  County,  N.  J.,  later  acquir- 
ing various  properties,  including  the  tract  near  where  the  town  of  Blackwood  now  stands.  Samuel 
Blackwood  was  sheriff  of  Gloucester  County  in  1767,  surrogate  in  1758  and  1767,  and  justice  of 
the  peace  in  1772.  Through  Abigail  Clement  the  family  is  descended  from  the  families  of  Clem- 
ent, Harrison,  Huddleston,  and  other  well-known  lines.  In  1793  Joshua  Ladd  Howell  cleared  out 
what  is  now  known  as  Howell's  Cove,  on  the  east  bank  of  the  Delaware  below  Philadelphia,  and 
started  the  Howell's  Cove  fishery.  In  1805  he  built  the  place  at  Fancy  Hill  and  in  181 1  purchased 
the  West  Point  fishery  just  above  Fancy  Hill.  In  addition  to  the  farms  at  "Candor  Hall"  and 
"Fancy  Hill,"  the  farms  at  Westville,  Eagle  Point,  and  elsewhere,  he  took  up  large  tracts  on  the 
Maurice  River.  His  business  affairs,  together  with  his  interests  in  political,  military,  and  social 
matters,  fully  occupied  his  time.  He  was  a  strong  Federalist  and  took  an  active  part  in  politics. 
His  military  career  covered  the  period  from  1793  to  1818,  during  which  time  he  held  various  com- 
mands, being  colonel  of  the  Second  Regiment,  Gloucester  Brigade,  of  New  Jersey  Militia,  at  the 
time  of  his  death.  In  the  War  of  1812  he  was  on  duty  at  Cape  May  and  other  points  in  his  State. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Gloucester  Fox-hunting  Club,  founded  in  1766,  one  of  the  earliest  organ- 
izations of  its  kind  in  the  country.  Anna  Blackwood.  Colonel  Howell's  wife,  has  left  an  interest- 
ing account  of  her  recollections  of  the  Revolution.    She  was  a  child  at  the  time,  but  clearly  remem-

bered  the  Hessians'  passing  through  Haddonfield  to  attack  Fort  Mercer,  led  by  Count  Donop; 
she  remembered  also  Lafayette,  who  was  stationed  at  Haddonfield  with  Morgan's  Rifle  Corps, 
and  Count  Pulaski.  British  and  Hessians  on  several  occasions  quartered  in  her  mother's  home, 
told  her  of  the  war,  and  on  the  evacuation  of  Philadelphia,  when  the  British  forces  halted  at  Had- 
donfield for  two  days,  she  saw  Clinton,  Cornwallis,  and  Erskine.  She  particularly  remembered  a 
Scotch  colonel  who  was  at  that  time  quartered  at  her  home,  and  who  allowed  her  to  play  with  his 
accoutrements  and  made  much  of  her. 

Richard  Washington  Howell,  one  of  the  children  of  Colonel  Howell  and  Anna  Blackwood, 
was  born  at  "Candor  Hall"  in  1799,  and  married  Mary  T.  Carpenter,  daughter  of  Edward  Car- 
penter of  Carpenter's  Landing,  in  1830.  After  his  marriage  Mr.  Howell  moved  to  Camden  and 
engaged  in  the  practice  of  law.  He  was  warden  of  St.  Paul's  Church,  president  of  the  Common 
Council  of  Camden  during  the  years  1851,  1852,  and  1853,  and  an  eminent  member  of  his  profes- 
sion. He  died  in  1859.  His  wife,  through  whom  the  families  of  Carpenter  and  Howell  became 
connected,  survived  him  for  many  years.  With  the  passing  of  their  generation  "Fancy  Hill"  and 
other  properties  in  New  Jersey  were  divided  and  sold.

Cl)c  Carpenter  family 


THE   SANDERSON   FAMILY. 

Cumberland  County,  Pennsylvania,  was  organized  in  1750  from  a  part  of  Lancaster  County, 
and  it  was  settled  by  Scotch  and  English,  who  began  in  1740-42  to  take  up  lands  to  which  the  In- 
dians' title  had  not  been  fully  extinguished.  Among  these  were  Alexander  Sanderson  and  his  family, 
who  located  about  1744  near  the  present  town  of  Carlisle  in  Middleton  Township,  Cumberland 
County. 

The  tradition  is  that  they  emigrated  from  Carlisle,  County  of  Cumberland,  England,  and 
were  connected  with  an  ancient  line  of  the  name  belonging  to  Durham.  A  seal  handed  down  in 
the  family  had  engraved  upon  it  a  coat  of  arms,  and  is  said  to  have  originally  belonged  to  Robert 
Sanderson,  Bishop  of  Lincoln,  1587-1663,  who  was  an  intimate  friend  of  Charles  I.  He  was  de- 
scended from  Alexander  de  Bidduc  alias  Sanderson,  of  County  Durham,  England,  who  lived  about 
1330,  the  arms  being  the  same  as  those  displayed  on  the  seal. 

Arms — paly  of  six,  argent  and  azure,  on  a  bend  sable  or  three  armlets.  Crest — On  a  mont 
vert  a  talbot  sable  eared  or  spotted  of  the  last.    Motto — Sans  dieu  rien. 

The  records  in  Pennsylvania  show,  under  the  head  of  Warrantees  of  Land,  in  Lancaster 
County,  Penna.,  Alexander  Sanderson,  200  acres,  date  of  survey  Sept.  19,  1746;  George  Sanderson 
(son),  200  acres,  date  of  survey  April  30,  1745.  In  the  first  list  of  taxables  in  Middleton  Township, 
Cumberland  Co.,  for  1751  (Penna.  Archives,  3d  Series,  vol.  24,  pp.  527,  529),  appear  the  names  of 
Alexander  Sanderson  and  George  Sanderson. 

Alexander  Sanderson  had  a  wife  named  Jean  and  a  number  of  children.  He  died  in  1760. 
His  will  was  signed  Feb.  20,  1760,  and  proved  Dec.  11,  1760. 

In  the  list  of  taxables  in  Middleton  Township  in  i  "62  we  find  the  names  of  George  Sanderson, 
Sr.,  Robert  Sanderson,  Jean  Sanderson  (the  widow  of  Ale.xander,  who  is  taxed  for  200  acres), 
George  Sanderson,  Jr. ,  Alexander  Sanderson,  Jr.  The  letters  of  the  Rev.  Thomas  Barton  show  that 
the  Indians  were  very  troublesome  in  this  section  after  1755,  and  many  atrocities  and  murders 
were  committed  by  them  on  the  scattered  and  practically  unprotected  settlers. 

George  Sanderson  was  the  eldest  son  of  Alexander,  and  his  wife  was  Jane.  They  had  two 
sons  and  four  daughters.  George  died  in  1797,  his  will  being  signed  Nov.  II,  1795,  proved  May 
22,  1797.  Robert,  the  eldest  son,  was  born  in  England  in  1736,  died  1803,  will  signed  Oct.  16,  1802, 
proved  March  10,  1803.  His  wife  was  named  Mary.  They  had  three  sons,  George,  Alexander, 
and  WiUiam,  who  was  married  and  had  children,  and  two  daughters,  Martha  McClain,  with  three 
children,  and  Jane  Hawling.  The  Sanderson  family  must  have  held  considerable  property,  as 
nineteen  of  them  are  on  the  list  as  warrantees  of  land  taken  up  from  1745  to  1797. 

During  the  Revolution  Robert  Sanderson  and  his  son  William  held  commissions  in  the  Cum- 
berland County  Militia  and  saw  service.  They  must  have  been  men  of  good  standing  and  reputa- 
tation,  or  they  would  not  have  been  placed  as  captains  in  command  of  companies  raised  in  the 
neighborhood.  Robert  Sanderson  was  captain  of  the  8th  Company,  3d  Battalion,  Cumberland 
County  Militia,  commissioned  July  31,  1777.  He  was  also  in  active  service  May,  1778,  and  July, 
1778.  (Penna.  Archives,  2d  Series,  vol.  14,  p.  427;  vol.  15,  pp.  602,  607,  624.)  William  Sanderson, 
son  of  Robert  Sanderson,  was  captain  of  the  3d  Company,  7th  Battalion,  Cumberland  County 
Associators,commissioned  July  31,  1777,  again  in  May,  1778,  and  in  April,  1779.  (Penna.  Archives, 
2d  Series,  vol.  14,  pp.  412,  436,  438,  451,  also  vol.  15,  pp.  578,  624.)  He  was  commissioned  May 
10,  1780,  major  of  the  5th  Battalion  (vol.  14,  p.  461). 

William  Sanderson  appears  in  a  hst  for  the  levying  of  State  taxes  in  1799,  in  Tyrone  Town- 
ship, as  having  400  acres  of  land,  5  horses,  10  cattle  and  I  negro.  He  married  Agnes  McClellan, 
whose  mother  was  a  Buchanan,  and  she  is  said  to  be  descended  from  the  Douglas  of  Scotland,  a 
very  intellectual  and  well-educated  woman.  The  latter  part  of  her  life  was  spent  in  Alabama, 
with  an  only  daughter,  Matilda,  who  married  Dr.  May,  of  that  section.  Her  sons  were  John, 
James  H.,  and  Joseph  McClellan.  The  latter  married  and  had  issue,  among  whom  was  a  son  Rob- 
ert McClcIlan  and  a  daughter  Emma  Sanderson.    James  H.  assisted  his  brother  John  in  writing 

"The  Signers."

€^t  Carpenter  ifamilt 


John  Sanderson,  through  whom  our  descent  comes,  was  born  in  1783,  near  Carlisle,  Cumber- 
land Co.,  Penna.;  died  in  Philadelphia  April  5,  1844;  educated  by  a  private  tutor;  studied  law, 
but  devoted  himself  finally  to  literature,  and  became  an  associate  instructor  in  the  Clermont 
Seminary,  the  principal  being  John  Thomas  Carr^.  John  Sanderson  married  Carry's  daughter 
Sophie  Carre  in  1805,  and  they  had  ten  children.  Sanderson  went  abroad  in  1835  on  account 
of  his  health,  and  when  he  returned  was  made  professor  of  Latin  and  Greek  in  the  Philadelphia 
High  School,  where  he  remained  until  his  death.  In  1820  he  published  the  first  two  volumes  of 
"The  Signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence,"  a  work  requiring  much  research,  being  as- 
sisted by  his  brother  James  H.  Sanderson.  Afterwards  published  in  seven  volumes  by 
Robert  Wain,  Jr.,  it  has  passed  through  several  editions.  In  1833  he  published  "Sketches  in 
Paris,"  republished  in  London  under  the  title  of  "The  American  in  Paris"  (1838),  and  other  works. 
He  was  considered  an  authority  in  classic  literature.  Sanderson  was  brilliant  in  his  conversation, 
most  interesting  in  his  writings,  remarkable  for  his  genial  manners,  and  loved  by  his  associates- 
He  is  buried  in  the  Presbyterian  cemetery  at  Pottsville,  Pa. 

The  Carr6s,  into  which  family  he  married,  had  an  eventful  history.  John  Thomas  Carr6 
was  a  native  of  France,  and  at  an  early  age  went  to  the  island  of  San  Domingo,  where  he  was  ap- 
pointed a  surveyor  for  the  king  (Louis  XVI)  in  the  parishes  of  Borgne  and  Plaisance,  dependen- 
cies of  Cape  Franjais.  He  married  Anne  Beatrice  Chicaneu,  daughter  of  Madam  Chicaneu, 
widow  of  Mr.  Chicaneu,  formerly  an  engineer  at  San  Domingo.  By  this  marriage  he  became  pos- 
sessed of  a  large  tract  of  land.  Here  he  established  an  extensive  coffee  plantation  of  about  fifty 
thousand  coflee  plants  and  the  necessary  buildings,  with  eventually  about  sixty  negro  slaves.  In 
December,  1793,  the  negroes  in  that  vicinity  revolted  and  killed  nearly  all  of  the  whites.  A 
neighbor  was  pursued  and  killed  in  his  house,  but  his  own  negroes,  having  been  kindly  treated, 
protected  his  family.  Later  he  found  it  necessary  to  retreat  to  the  coast,  leaving  everything, — 
the  crops,  a  select  library  of  5,400  volumes,  a  large,  commodious  dwelling-house,  and  other  build- 
ings. The  houses  were  burned  and  everything  destroyed.  Carre  went  to  Philadelphia  in  Septem- 
ber, 1794,  with  three  of  his  children  and  three  servants,  and  remained  there  until  December,  1798, 
when  he  embarked  again  for  Cape  Francjais.  He  found  the  island  under  Toussaint  L'Ouverture, 
the  negro  commander.  Mr.  Carre  accepted  the  position  of  secretary  of  the  American  Legation,  to 
get  the  advantage  of  an  official  status.  The  French  fleet  arrived  there  soon  after,  and,  fearing  the 
negroes  would  burn  the  town,  he  with  others  went  aboard  an  American  vessel,  having  only  the 
clothes  they  wore.  The  town  was  burned  and  all  of  their  property  was  destroyed.  He  then  em- 
barked, with  those  belonging  to  him,  on  an  American  ship  May  11,  1799,  and  arrived  in  New 
York  June  9,  1799,  and  soon  took  up  his  residence  in  Philadelphia,  where  he  remarried. 

John  Sanderson  married  Sophie  Carre  and  had  ten  children.    Of  these: 

'  Virginia  married  Edward  York  Farquhar,  and  had  George,  Sophie,  Matilda,  and  Edward. 
'  Matilda  married  Joseph  Price,  of  Delaware,  and  had  John,  Sophie,   Margaret,  James,

THE   WASHBURN   FAMILY. 

The  Washburna  emigrated  in  the  time  of  Charles  I  in  the  great  exodus  of  1643,  and  settled 
in  the  southwestern  corner  of  Connecticut,  in  Fairfield  County.  About  1725,  when  the  English 
Church  was  gaining  a  foot-hold  in  Connecticut,  a  small  congregation  was  gathered  in  the  village 
of  Newtown  under  the  guidance  of  the  Rev.  John  Beach.  This  corner  of  the  colony  held  back  from 
the  Revolutionary  movement.  Beach  wrote  to  the  "Society  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel" 
thus:  "Newtown  and  the  Church  of  England  part  of  Reading  are  I  believe  the  only  portions  of 
New  England  that  have  refused  to  comply  with  the  doings  of  the  Congress."  At  Reading  the  noto- 
rious association  of  Loyalists,  with  some  one  hundred  members,  had  its  head-quarters.  Among 
the  names  black-listed  for  Toryism  were  the  Washburns.  A  David  Washburn  was  particularly 
irrepressible  in  his  devotion  to  king  and  church,  and  was  sentenced  by  the  Revolutionists  to  be 
hung,  but  was  exchanged  with  a  cartel  of  patriots.  Nathan  Washbon  (as  the  name  was  then 
spelled)  was  a  physician  and  a  Tory,  like  most  of  that  profession  then,  probably  because  of  their 
education  in  British  schools. 

Independence  winning  out,  the  stubborn  minority  that  had  declined  to  renounce  inherited 
allegiances  was  frowned  upon  and  oppressed.  Many  of  them  fled  to  Canada  or  Nova  Scotia, 
while  others  moved  out  into  the  wilderness  seclusion  of  Western  New  York.  Of  these  the  Wash- 
bons,  Zeba  and  Zenas,  settled  in  the  Unadilla  country  in  the  Butternut  Valley  and  reared  large 
families.     Daniel  Washburn  was  the  son  of  Zenas  and  Mary  Cope  Washburn.

THE    DORR   FAMILY. 

Edward  Dorr  was  the  first  of  the  name  in  this  country.  He  came  to  New  England  about 
1670,  it  is  said  from  the  west  of  England,  where  families  of  the  name  have  long  been  settled  in 
Dorsetshire.  The  records  show  that  Edward  Dorr  was  at  Pemaquid  (Bristol),  Maine,  July  22, 
1674.  In  the  same  year  he  is  noted  as  taking  the  oath  of  allegiance  in  Boston,  and  in  1677  pur- 
chased some  land  at  the  north  end  of  Boston.  He  acquired  later  considerable  property  in  Rox- 
bury,  Leicester,  and  Woodstock,  and  removed  to  Roxbury,  date  uncertain.  In  1718  he  was  town 
clerk,  in  1721  moderator,  and  in  1723  one  of  the  selectmen  of  the  town.  Edward  Dorr  married 
about  1679  Elizabeth  Hawley,  daughter  of  Thomas  Hawley  and  Dorothy  Lamb,  nee  Harbottle, 
widow  of  Thomas  Lamb.  She  was  born  at  Roxbury,  1656,  and  died  there  Dec.  7,  1719.  Mr. 
Dorr  married,  secondly,  the  widow  Elizabeth  Clap,  nee  Dickerman,  who  died  Jan.  30,  1732.  Ed- 
ward was  born  about  1648,  and  died  in  Roxbury  Feb.  9,  1733,  in  the  86th  year  of  his  age. 

In  the  fourth  generation  Edward  Dorr  was  born  at  Roxbury  Oct.  4,  1757,  son  of  Edward 
Dorr  and  Abigail  Gridley,  and  died  at  Salisbury,  Mass.,  March  27,  1844.  He  married  July  14, 
1782,  Ruth  Dalton,  of  Salisbury,  and  was  a  shipwright  by  trade,  and  an  active  member  of  the 
Congregational  Church  for  many  years,  being  chosen  deacon  July  27,  1797.  A  few  years  before 
his  death,  he  joined  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church.  In  the  Revolution  Dorr  enlisted  in  John 
Merritt's  company  as  a  private,  marched  to  Cambridge,  and  served  altogether  three  years.  He 
filled  many  offices  in  his  town  and  county,  and  was  considered  very  efficient  as  a  magistrate. 

Edward  Dorr  and  Ruth  Dalton  had  seven  children.  The  descent  is  through  Benjamin, 
who  was  born  at  Salisbury  March  22,  1796,  died  at  Philadelphia  Sept.  18,  1869.  He  married  July 
12,  1827,  Esther  Kettell  Odin,  of  Boston.  Graduated  at  Dartmouth  College  1817,  studied  law  in 
the  office  of  Hon.  Amasa  Paine,  at  Troy,  N.  Y.,  but  decided  to  go  into  the  ministry,  graduating 
at  the  General  Theological  Seminary;  ordained  deacon  in  1820,  priest  in  1823.  After  being  rector 
of  Lansingburg  and  Waterford  and  then  at  Utica,  N.  Y.,  he  became  secretary  and  general  agent 
for  the  Domestic  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Missions,  and  then  received  a  call  to  become  rector 
of  old  Christ  Church,  Philadelphia,  to  succeed  Bishop  White.  This  call  he  accepted,  and  was  in- 
stituted May  4,  1837.  Received  the  degree  of  D.D.  from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania;  was 
made  trustee  of  the  university  1839.  Was  elected  Bishop  of  Maryland  1839,  but  declined.  Mem- 
ber of  the  American  Philosophical  Society  1841.  Author  of  many  books,  chiefly  on  church  subjects.

THE   WHEELER   FAMILY. 
The  ancestor  of  the  Wheeler  family  in  Philadelphia  came  to  this  country  with  the  Swedes 
who  settled  on  the  Delaware  before  the  advent  of  William  Penn. 

The  name  does  not  appear  on  an  early  list  of  the  Swedish  settlers  in  1648,  and  the  first  men- 
tion to  be  found  is  that  of  John  Wheeler  (written  Johan  Hwiler),  who  signs  a  protest,  with  twenty.

one  others,  against  the  arbitrary  and  tyrannical  conduct  of  the  Governor  of  New  Sweden,  which 
was  handed  in  to  Governor  Printz,  July  27,  1653.  John  Wheeler  must  have  been  some  time  in  the 
country  to  be  called  upon  to  join  in  signing  such  a  paper,  and  it  would  be  reasonable  to  assume  that 
he  arrived  about  1650.  The  name  Wheeler,  rendered  Hwiler,  Wihler,  and  in  other  forms,  is  said 
to  be  of  English  origin,  and  the  ancestor  had  more  than  likely  sought  service  in  Sweden  during 
the  wars  of  Gustavus  Adolphus. 

John  Wheeler  appears  again  July  29,  1661,  with  fourteen  Swedes,  who  are  made  free  citizens 
and  denizens  of  Maryland,  in  a  paper  signed  by  Philip  Calvert,  lieutenant  of  the  Province  of  Mary- 
land. After  a  sojourn  there,  Wheeler  probably  returned  to  the  banks  of  the  Delaware.  (Mary- 
land Archives,  vol.  iii,  page  429.) 

In  the  records  of  the  court  at  Upland  there  is  "March  ye  12th,  1677-8,  upon  the  petition  of 
Lasse  Andrews,  on  behalf  of  John  Wheeler  and  Andrees  Wheeler,  desiring  a  grant  to  take  up  for 
them  both  300  acres  of  Land  on  ye  Schuylkill.  The  Court  granted  to  ye  said  John  &  Andrees 
liberty  to  take  up  300  acres  of  Land,  they  seating  and  improving  ye  said  Land,  according  to  his 
Honour  ye  Governor's  orders  and  regulations." 

John  Wheeler  probably  married  after  his  arrival  on  the  Delaware,  and  had  a  son  named 
Andrew,  both  appearing  in  the  above  transaction. 

In  the  list  prepared  by  Carl  Christapherson  Springer  and  sent  to  John  Theim,  secretary 
and  postmaster  at  Gothsberg,  Sweden,  May  31,  1693,  of  the  Swedes  then  on  the  Delaware,  occurs 
the  name  of  "Anders  Wihler,"  with  four  in  his  family.  He  evidently  married  some  years  before 
and  had  children,  but  no  mention  is  made  of  John  Wheeler  (the  elder),  who  must  have  died  at  an 
earlier  date.  It  also  appears  in  the  records  of  the  commissioners  of  property  that  John  Roberts 
bought  in  1699  of  Andrew  Wheeler,  a  Swede,  a  tract  of  land  in  Merion  (the  courses  are  given,  some 
of  them  following  the  Schuylkill)  containing  60  acres,  being  part  of  a  sur\'ey  made  by  Richard 
Noble,  the  24th  of  3d  month,  1681,  by  virtue  of  a  warrant  from  the  court  at  Lapland  dated  1st 
month,  1677,  pursuant  to  the  petition  of  Lasse  Andrews  on  behalf  of  John  and  Andrew  Wheeler 
for  300  acres,  "and  the  said  John  Wheeler  being  dead,  Andrew  is  his  sole  heir."  This  is  a  part  of  the 
land  in  the  Roberts  place  at  Bala,  for  which  they  now  hold  the  deed.  The  records  show  that  Lasse 
or  Lawrence  Andrews  in  his  wiU  dated  5th  mo.  17,  1689,  gives  to  Michael  Neilson  and  Andrew- 
Wheeler  a  certain  house  and  land  in  Moyamensing.  Michael  Neilson  by  deed  dated  May  13, 
1702,  transfers  all  of  his  claim  to  this  property  to  Andrew  Wheeler.  He  thus  became  owner  of  a 
tract  of  land  of  28  acres  upland  and  65J4  acres  meadow. 

The  Rev.  Andrew  Rudman  in  1697-98  made  a  list  of  famiUes  belonging  to  the  parish  of 
Gloria  Dei  Church  of  Philadelphia,  giving  their  residences.  We  read  therein:  "From  the  Church 
down  the  River,  at  the  Hollander's  Creek  (near  Moyamensing),  Andrew  Wheeler.  His  wife  Cath- 
erine.    Their  children  '  John  7  years,  Andrew  5,  Lawrence  4,  Anna  iK-" 

Andrew  Wheeler,  by  will  dated  March  17,  1719-20,  proved  March  20,  1719-20,  leaves  all  of 
his  property  to  his  wife  Anna  Maria  Wheeler  and  his  children  Andrew^,  John,  Samuel',  Mary, 
and  Ann. 

He  was  married  twice,  (i)  to  Catherine,  and  (2)  to  Anna  Maria,  Nov.  23,  1704.  (See  manu- 
script of  T.  Stewardson,  Hist.  Society  of  Penna.)  By  the  first  marriage  he  had  '  John,  ^  Andrew, 
^  Lawrence,  and  *  Ann.  By  the  2d  marriage:  '  Mary  and  ^  Samuel.  Lawrence  must  have  died 
before  the  will  was  made,  as  that  shows  all  of  the  children  living,  by  both  marriages. 

Andrew-  died  intestate.  The  tombstone  over  the  grave  of  Samuel  Wheeler-  in  Christ 
Church-yard  gives  the  date  of  his  birth  and  death,  and,  in  addition,  "In  Memoriam,"  Samuel 
Wheeler',  bom  Sept.  30,  1715,  died  1742,  and  of  Andrew  Wheeler,  died  Sept.  10,  1732.  The  latter 
evidently  refers  to  Andrew  Wheeler-.  The  two  last  are  not  buried  here,  but  probably  at  Gloria 
Dai  Church. 

Samuel  Wheeler',  the  son  of  Andrew  Wheeler',  born  Sept.  30,  1715,  died  1742,  aged  27 
years.  His  wife  was  named  Ann,  and  they  had  two  children,  'Ann,  who  died  in  infancy,  and  a  son 
Samuel-,  born  June  20,  1742,  after  the  death  of  his  father.

Samuel  Wheeler^  son  of  Samuel  Wheeler',  bom  at  Weccaco,  Philadelphia,  June  20,  1742, 
died  May  10,  1820,  aged  78  years.  Buried  in  Christ  Church-yard.  Ironmaster.  During  the  Rev- 
olution he  served  in  the  Continental  army.  His  reputation  as  a  skilled  worker  in  iron  reached 
General  Washington,  who  had  him  make  a  chain  which  was  placed  across  the  Hudson  River  at 
West  Point  to  prevent  the  passage  of  British  ships.  This  was  a  success  and  did  good  service. 
Wheeler  made  a  cannon  out  of  bars  of  iron,  by  welding  them,  which  was  used  at  the  Battle  of 
Brandywine  with  such  effect  as  to  excite  the  wonder  and  admiration  of  the  American  officers. 
He  also  made  many  improvements  in  mechanics,  in  hay-scales,  hoisting-machines,  screws,  lanterns 
for  light-houses,  and  in  a  new  successful  method  of  laying  stones  for  light-houses.  He  constructed 
the  handsome  iron  gates  to  old  Christ  Church,  Philadelphia.  After  the  war  he  was  elected  a  mem- 
ber of  the  House  of  Representatives  in  the  State  Legislature  for  the  County  of  Montgomery, 
where  he  had  removed  his  family  for  safety.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  he  was  the  oldest  justice  of 
the  peace  in  the  County  of  Philadelphia,  a  member  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society,  and  a 
vestryman  of  Gloria  Dei  and  Christ  Church.

THE   MOSELEY   FAMILY. 

The  Moseleys  of  Newburyport,  Mass.,  are  descended  from  John  Maudesley  or  Moseley, 
who  came  from  Lancastershire,  England,  in  1630,  on  the  brig  "Mary  and  John,"  Capt.  Squibb, 
master, to  America.  Another  account  claims  that  he  crossed  the  ocean  on  the  brig  "James"  in 
1 635.    The  first  is  probably  correct. 

He  settled  in  Mattapan,  a  part  of  Dorchester.  The  name  was  spelled  Maudesley  and  in 
other  forms,  and  was  very  ancient  in  England,  occurring  in  the  Domesday  Book  in  1080,  and  to  be

€^c  Carpenter  family 


traced  through  the  following  generations.  John  Moseley  died  in  Dorchester,  Mass.,  Aug.  29,  1661, 
leaving  three  children.  Thomas,  the  oldest,  died  Oct.  22,  1706,  and  was  buried  in  the  cemetery 
at  Dorchester.  He  was  the  father  of  nine  children.  Of  these  Ebenezer'  was  born  in  Dorchester 
Sept.  4,  1673,  and  died  there  Sept.  19,  1740,  and  is  said  to  have  been  one  of  the  first  in  this  part  of 
the  country  to  engage  in  the  smelting  and  manufacture  of  iron.  He  had  four  children,  and  the 
second,  Samuel,  was  born  Aug.  15,  1708.  Graduated  from  Harvard  College  in  1729.  Was  or- 
dained May  15,  1734,  pastor  of  the  Second  Church  in  Windham,  Connecticut,  "in  the  part  set  off 
in  1786  as  the  town  of  Hampton."  Died  July  26,  1791.  He  was  an  eminent  Christian,  able 
divine,  and  excellent  scholar,  given  to  hospitality  and  of  much  influence. 

He  was  twice  married  and  had  twelve  children.  Ebenezer  Moseley-,  the  second  son,  was  born 
Feb.  19,  1 741.  Graduated  from  Yale  College  in  1763.  Having  studied  for  the  ministry,  was 
licensed  June  19,  1765.  Married  Sept.  14,  1773,  Martha  Strong,  a  sister  of  Caleb  Strong,  one  of 
the  early  United  States  Senators  from  Massachusetts,  and  Governor  of  the  State  for  eleven  years. 
In  connection  with  General  Israel  Putnam  and  Governor  Trumbull,  he  did  much  in  the  struggle 
for  independence  in  arousing  the  patriotic  spirit.  Although  a  clergyman,  he  entered  the  army, 
and  was  made  captain  in  a  company  of  Putnam's  Regiment,  and  participated  in  the  Battle  of 
Bunker  Hill.  He  then  became  colonel  of  the  5th  Regiment  and  was  active  in  the  military  service. 
After  the  war  he  was  elected  frequently  to  the  Legislature  and  was  prominent  as  a  citizen.  He 
died  March  20,  1825,  and  was  buried  in  the  family  lot  at  Hampton,  Conn.  His  wife  died  Aug.  12, 
1827,  leaving  four  children. 

The  third  child,  Ebenezer  Moseley',  was  born  Nov.  21,  1781.  Graduated  from  Yale  College 
in  1802.  Selecting  the  profession  of  the  law,  he  settled  in  Newburyport,  Mass.,  in  1805,  and  soon 
became  very  successful  with  an  extensive  practice.  He  was  elected  several  times  to  the  Massa- 
chusetts Legislature,  and  in  1813-14  served  as  colonel  of  the  6th  Regiment,  Massachusetts  Militia. 
He  occupied  many  positions  of  trust  and  responsibility;  was  one  of  the  incorporators  of  the  In- 
stitute for  Savings  in  1820  and  of  the  Mutual  Insurance  Company.  He  was  prominent  in  welcom- 
ing Lafayette  to  Newburyport  in  1824.  Died  August  28,  1854.  He  married  June  17,  1810,  Mary 
Ann  Oxnard,  of  Portland,  Maine,  of  a  distinguished  family  and  connections.  She  was  born  Jan. 
31,  1787,  died  March  9,  1840.  Her  father  was  a  sympathizer  with  the  Tory  party  in  the  Revolu- 
tion, and  in  consequence  was  proscribed  and  his  property  confiscated. 

Edward  Strong  Moseley  was  the  eldest  of  the  six  children  of  Ebenezer  Moseley',  and  entered 
Yale  College  in  1829,  but  resigned  in  the  last  term  of  the  Junior  year,  in  good  standing.  He  com- 
menced in  the  counting  room  of  a  shipping  merchant  in  Boston,  Mr.  Benj.  A.  Gould,  and  then 
made  three  voyages  as  supercargo  between  1834  and  1837.  He  married  Feb.  5,  1839,  Charlotte 
Augusta  Chapman,  daughter  of  the  Rev.  George  Thomas  Chapman,  D.D.,  a  clergyman  of  the 
Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  then  at  Newark,  N.  J.  After  the  death  of  Mr.  Gould,  Mr.  Moseley 
became  an  extensive  ship-owner  in  Newburyport,  a  director  in  many  corporations,  trustee  of  a 
number  of  estates,  and  widely  known  in  business  circles.  He  was  connected  with  many  benevolent 
institutions  and  societies,  was  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  branch  of  the  Society  of  the  Cin- 
cinnati. In  1890  the  honorary  degree  of  M.A.  was  conferred  on  him  by  Yale  College,  as  of  the 
graduates  of  1833.  He  was  chosen  a  director  in  the  Mechanics'  Bank  in  1847  and  president  from 
1 86 1  to  his  death,  trustee  of  the  Institute  of  Savings  in  1853  and  president  from  1861  until  he  re- 
signed in  1899.  He  did  much  by  his  influence  and  contributions  for  the  Newburyport  Public 
Library,  in  which  he  was  very  much  interested.  He  gained  a  reputation  for  sound  conservative 
judgment,  integrity,  and  general  character,  and  was  certainly  one  of  the  leaders  and  of  the 
most  prominent  of  the  citizens  of  Newburyport.  His  wife  died  Nov.  13,  1893,  and  he  died  at  his 
home  April  25,  1900.    Three  sons  and  two  daughters  survived  them.

THE  FISHBOURNE  BRANCH 

DESCENT 

From  Hannah  Carpenter,  daughter  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  ist,  Through 

"The  Fishbourne  Family." 

{See  No.  2,  "Carpenter  Line.") 

I.  Hannah  Carpenter'-,  daughter  of  Samuel  Carpenter  and  his 
wife  Hannah  Hardiman,  bom  in  Philadelphia,  March  3,  1686;  died  July 
25,  1728;  married  Jan.  8,  1701,  in  Philadelphia,  William  Fishbourne, 
born  June  25,  1677,  in  Talbot  County,  Maryland,  died  May  27,  1742,  in 
Philadelphia,  son  of  Ralph  Fishbourne  and  his  wife  Sarah  Lewis,  daughter 
of  William  Lewis.  He  settled  in  Philadelphia  before  1700  and  became  a 
merchant.  His  store  was  located  on  King  Street,  now  called  Water  Street, 
below  the  wharf  and  stores  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  as  shown  in  the  paint- 
ing of  the  city  by  Peter  Cooper,  dated  about  1715,  in  the  possession  of  the 
Philadelphia  Library.  He  was  justice  of  the  peace  for  Philadelphia  County, 
Dec.  15,  1719,  June  14,  1722,  May  12,  1725,  Aug.  25,  1726,  and  Sept.  2, 
1727;  mayor  of  the  city  October,  171Q,  Oct.  4,  1720,  Oct.  3,  1721;  member 
of  the  Governor's  Provincial  Council  1723-1731;  city  treasurer  1725-1726. 

He  wrote  a  narrative  of  events  concerning  the  city  of  Philadelphia, 
its  progress,  and  the  settlement  of  the  colony,  which  he  entitled  "Some 
Few  and  Short  Hints  of  the  Settlement  of  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania  to 
the  year  1739,"  a  pamphlet  now  rare  and  much  valued  by  collectors. 

In  1723  William  Fishbourne,  alderman,  with  George  Fitzwater  and 
John  Warden,  James  Logan  being  Mayor,  was  requested  by  the  Council 
to  employ  persons  immediately  to  open  High  Street  to  the  new  ferry. 

It  is  remarkable  that  Hannah  Fishbourne,  the  first  wife  of  William 
Fishbourne,  died  July  25,  1728,  the  next  day  after  the  death  of  her  mother, 
Hannah  Carpenter,  the  widow  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  ist,  who  died 
July  24,  1728,  eighty-three  years  of  age. 

William  Fishbourne  married,  secondly,  Jane,  daughter  of  Edward 
Roberts.  He  died  May  27,  1742.  After  his  death,  his  widow  married, 
secondly,  John  Galloway,  and  had  one  daughter,  Jane,  who  married  Joseph 
Shippen  in  Christ  Church  Sept.  29,  1768,  and  had  ten  children.

ible with  their  religious  principles.    He  published  in  Philadelphia,  1757,  a  pamphlet  defending  the

course  and  belief  of  "the  people  called  Quakers."  Pemberton  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Hospital,  one  of  the  managers  and  the  secretary  of  the  Board  from  1759  to  1772. 
He  was  one  of  those  imprisoned  in  the  Freemason's  Lodge  in  Philadelphia  and  thence  exiled  to 
Virginia  during  the  Revolution.  His  town  house  was  at  Second  Street  and  Lodge  Alley.  He  had 
a  country  seat  called  "The  Plantations,"  which  was  purchased  in  1758,  formerly  belonging  to 
Chief-Justice  John  Kinsey,  the  present  site  of  the  U.  S.  Naval  Asylum,  on  the  east  bank  of  the 
Schuylkill.  He  also  inherited  "The  Evergreens,"  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  Gray's  Ferry  Road. 
He  married  three  times:  (2)  March  22,  1768,  Sarah,  daughter  of  Daniel  Smith,  of  Burlington, 
N.  J.,  who  died  Nov.  28,  1770;  (3)  July  12,  1775,  Mrs.  Phoebe  (Lewis)  Morton,  widow  of  Samuel 
Morton  and  daughter  of  Robert  and  Mary  Lewis,  bom  March  11,  1738,  died  Aug.  22,  1812. 

The  Pembertons  were  located  at  an  early  period  as  lords  of  the  manor  of  Pemberton,  in  the 
parish  of  Wegan,  Lancashire,  England, — from  at  least  the  time  of  Richard  L  The  Pennsylvania 
line  is  traced  to  William  Pemberton,  of  Wegan,  Lancaster  County,  born  about  1580.  Ralph 
Pemberton,  with  his  son  Phineas  Pemberton,  the  latter's  wife,  and  three  children,  came  to  Penn- 
sylvania on  the  ship  "Submission,"  from  Liverpool,  7th  mo.  5,  1682.  Arrived  at  Choptank, 
Maryland,  9th  mo.  2,  1682,  and  then  proceeded  by  land  to  Pennsylvania.  Phineas  was  born  Jan. 
30,  1650,  at  Wegan,  Lancaster  Co.,  and  died  in  Bucks  County,  Pa.,  March  i,  1702.  He  purchased 
a  tract  of  500  acres  of  land  nth  mo.  17,  1683,  located  on  the  Delaware  opposite  Biles  Island,  and 
built  a  dwelling,  calling  it  "Grove's  Place."  He  took  an  active  part  in  public  affairs,  member  of 
the  Provincial  Council  of  Pennsylvania,  member  of  the  Assembly,  and  was  interested  in  matters 
pertaining  to  Bucks  County,  where  he  resided. 

He  married  Jan.  i,  1676,  in  Lancaster  Co.,  England,  Phoebe  Harrison.  She  died  8th  mo. 
30,  1696.  They  had  9  children,  of  whom  Israel  was  born  Feb.  20,  1685,  at  Grove's  Place;  died 
Jan.  19,  1754;  married  April  12,  1710,  Rachel  Read,  daughter  of  Charles  Read,  merchant  of  Phila- 
delphia. She  was  born  1691,  died  Feb.  24,  1765.  They  had  10  children.  The  descent  is  through 
their  son  James  Pemberton  {vide  supra).  Israel  was  of  great  prominence  among  the  Friends;  was 
nineteen  years  in  the  Assembly;  in  1729  chosen  elder.  His  mansion  was  the  scene  of  great  hospi- 
tality.

a  merchant,  one  of  the  principal  importers  in  Philadelphia,  and  owned  a  country  seat  called  "Twick-

a  governor  and  was  known  as  Governor  Wharton.  Probably  worn  out  by  exertion,  care,  and 
anxiety,  he  died  rather  suddenly  at  Lancaster,  May  28,  1778,  and  was  buried  in  the  Lutheran 
Church  at  that  place.*

religious  purposes,  through  Virginia,  Ireland,  and  England,  and  with  others  made  great  efforts  to 
bring  about  a  cessation  of  hostilities  during  the  Revolution. 

George  Emlen,  4TH,  who  married  Sarah  Fishbourne,  was  well  known  as  a  merchant,  with 
a  town  house  and  the  country  seat  which  had  belonged  to  his  father  in  the  White  Marsh  Valley. 
He  evidently  lived  in  easy  circumstances,  and  is  mentioned  as  the  owner  of  a  "chariot"  or  "post 
chaise." 

Sarah  Fishbourne,  his  wife,  is  spoken  of  by  "Sally  Wister,"  in  her  journal;  "I  think  Sally 
Emlen  one  of  the  most  beautiful  women  I  ever  saw,  agreeable,  affable,  sensible  in  the  true  sense  of 
the  words.  Her  conversation  is  so  very  lively  and  diverting,  that  even  were  her  personal  attrac-

of  Samuel  Mickle  Fox  by  his  wife  Sarah  Pleasants. 

Joseph  M.  Fox  studied  law  and  was  admitted  to  the  Philadelphia  bar  Sept.  7,  1812.  He  was 
practising  his  profession  in  Bellefonte,  Centre  County,  Pa.,  when  married,  but  shortly  after  re- 
moved to  Meadville,  Pa.  He  purchased  from  the  trustees  under  his  father's  will  twelve  tracts 
comprising  thirteen  thousand  acres  in  the  western  part  of  the  State.  In  1827  he  with  his  wife  and 
son  settled  on  one  of  these  tracts,  at  the  junction  of  the  Allegheny  and  Clarion  Rivers,  where  was 
established  a  home  about  which  the  town  of  Foxburg  after%vards  grew.  Joseph  M.  Fox  was 
elected  State  senator  in  1829. 

James  Fox,  the  founder  of  the  family  in  America,  belonged  to  a  company  of  emigrants  from 
Plymouth,  Devonshire,  Eng.,  known  as  "the  Plymouth  Friends."  Among  them  was  Francis 
Rawle,  his  son  of  the  same  name  and  six  servants,  James  Fox,  his  family  and  eight  servants;  the 
latter  included  John  Richard  and  Justinian  Fox,  who  had  no  doubt  bound  themselves  to  ser\-e  for 
a  period  of  time  to  pay  the  expenses  of  the  passage.  They  embarked  on  the  ship  "Desire,"  and  ar- 
rived at  Philadelphia  June  23,  1686.  The  Foxes  belonged  to  St.  Germains,  Cornwall,  and  Rawle 
was  of  an  ancient  family  long  seated  in  the  same  county  at  St.  Juliot.  On  March  13,  1685,  before 
leaving  England,  Fox  and  Rawle  had  for  themselves  and  their  associates  purchased  5000  acres  of 
land  of  Wm  Penn.  It  was  the  purpose  of  these  leaders  to  have  the  land  together,  and  organize 
an  industrial  settlement  for  woollen  manufacture.  The  5000  acres,  with  327  acres  added,  were 
laid  out  at  what  is  now  known  as  Plymouth  Township,  Montgomery  Co.,  Pa.  With  these  associ- 
ates Fox  and  Rawle  took  up  their  residence  on  the  land.  A  Friends  meeting  was  established  at 
the  home  of  James  Fox,  which  has  continued  to  the  present  day,  and  is  known  as  "Plymouth 
Meeting."  The  colony  was  too  young  for  a  woollen  industry,  and  the  scheme  was  abandoned. 
Fox  and  Rawle  removed  to  Philadelphia. 

The  parents  of  James  Fox  were  Francis  Fox  and  his  wife  Dorothy  Kekewich,  members  of 
the  Society  of  Friends  and  living  at  St.  Germains,  Cornwall.  James  Fox  married  Elizabeth  Rec- 
ord and  settled  at  Plymouth,  Devonshire,  where  he  was  engaged  in  manufacturing  cloth.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  Pennsylvania  Assembly  1688,  1693,  1699,  and  died  in  Philadelphia  Sept.  19,  1699.

Hutchinson,  born  May  10,  1788,  died  May  9,  1866. 

Tire  ancestor  of  the  Hutchinson  family  in  this  part  of  the  country  was  John  Hutchinson,  a 
member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  who  came  to  the  province  from  England  prior  to  1702  and  set- 
tled in  Palls  Township,  Bucks  County.  The  earliest  mention  of  him  is  Dec.  17,  1702,  when  he 
signs  as  a  witness  the  marriage  certificate  of  Joseph  Kirkbride,  Jr.,  and  Sarah  Stacy.  He  married 
May  I,  1706,  Phoebe  Kirkbride,  born  in  Bucks  County  Jan.  7,  1686-7.  Her  father  was  an  influ- 
ential man,  and  one  of  the  wealthiest  denizens  of  Bucks  County.  His  landed  possessions  at  his 
death  amounted  to  13,000  acres.  Phiiebe  Hutchinson  died  about  1724.  John  Hutchinson  married, 
secondly.  May  24,  1726,  Sarah  Burgess,  daughter  of  Samuel  Burgess.  His  death  occurred  in  1745. 
John  Hutchinson  was  the  father  of  1 1  children,  6  by  the  first  wife  and  5  by  the  second. 

The  Hutchinsons  of  Philadelphia  are  descended  from  Randall  Hutchinson,  the  fifth  child  of 
John  Hutchinson.  He  was  born  Oct.  i,  1720,  and  lived  on  a  plantation  at  Lower  Makefield  Town- 
ship, Bucks  County.  Married,  first,  Elizabeth  Harvey,  daughter  of  Matthias  Harvey,  Jr.,  a 
landed  proprietor  of  Bucks  County;  married,  secondly,  about  1749,  Catherine  Rickey,  born  Oct. 
20,  1720.  She  survived  her  husband,  who  died  in  1769.  The  first  wife  had  three  children,  the 
second  wife  four.    Three  of  these,  Matthias,  James,  and  Mahlon,  left  issue. 

James,  the  eldest  son  of  the  second  wife,  born  in  1752,  was  the  "first  to  identify  himself  with 
Philadelphia,"  and  the  descent  through  liim  is  of  interest  to  us  in  this  connection.  He  studied 
medicine,  and  in  the  Revolutionary  War  was  appointed  surgeon's  mate  July  31,  1778,  promoted 
surgeon  Feb.  i,  1779,  and  surgeon-general  of  Pennsylvania.  He  made  a  distinguished  record  as  a 
physician,  and  in  addition  took  great  interest  in  measures  proposed  for  the  good  of  the  country, 
including  some  concerning  the  currency.  In  1779  he  became  a  trustee  of  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania, but  resigned  the  office  in  two  years.  April  16,  1779,  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the 
American  Philosophical  Society  and  was  its  secretary  until  his  death.  His  residence  was  on  Sec- 
ond Street  between  Walnut  and  Spruce.  Washington  notes  in  his  diary:  "Sept.  6,  1787,  dined  at 
Dr.  Hutchinson's."  In  1781  he  purchased  the  house  and  lands  on  the  Schuylkill  formerly  belong- 
ing to  Joseph  Galloway.  In  1791  Dr.  Hutchinson  was  made  professor  of  chemistry  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania.  He  died  Sept.  5,  1793,  a  victim  to  the  epidemic  of  yellow  fever  which 
ravaged  Philadelphia  at  that  time.  He  married,  first,  Feb.  18,  1779,  Lydia  Biddle,  daughter  of 
John  and  Sarah  {nee  Owen)  Biddle,  sister  of  Colonel  Clement  Biddle,  of  the  Revolution.  She  died 
Sept.  4,  1785.     Married,  secondly,  Dec.  2,  1786,  Sidney  Evans  Howell,  daughter  of  Joseph  and

€l)c  Carpenter  family 


Sidney  {nee  Evans)  Howell,  who  survived  her  husband  many  years,  and  died  in  Philadelphia 
Aug.  26,  1838.  The  first  wife  had  a  son,  named  James  Hutchinson,  who  graduated  A.B.  Univ.  of 
Penna.  1798,  and  in  medicine  about  1803.  Served  for  a  time  in  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital.  He 
was  unmarried.  We  do  not  find  the  record  of  his  birth  and  death.  The  second  wife  had  two  sons, 
Randall  and  Israel  Pemberton,  and  both  married  and  had  issue.  Randall  Hutchinson  had  two 
children  who  died  in  infancy, — one,  James  Pemberton  Hutchinson,  born  Sept.  16,  1816,  died  Feb. 
II,  1819,  the  other,  Catherine  Helen  Hutchinson,  born  Oct.  23,  1818,  died  Aug.  15,  1820,  and  a 
third  child,  named  Sydney,  who  died  unmarried. 

IsR.-vEL  Pemberton  Hutchinson  was  born  May  10,  1788.  In  1816  he  was  appointed  U.  S. 
consul  to  Lisbon,  Portugal,  which  office  he  held  for  many  years.  He  resided  at  Cintra,  near  Lisbon, 
and  was  engaged  also  in  mercantile  pursuits.  Having  accumulated  a  large  fortune,  he  returned  to 
Philadelphia  and  resided  there  until  his  death.  He  was  director  of  the  Farmer  and  Mechanic's 
Bank  and  of  the  Pennsylvania  Company  for  the  Insurance  on  Lives  and  Granting  Annuities.*

THE    WHARTON   ARMS,    WESTMORELAND   CO.,    ENGLAND 

The  father  of  Joseph  Wharton  was  Thomas  Wharton,  born  Oct.  16,  1664, 
died  July  13,  17 18.  Thomas  Wharton  was  the  son  of  Richard  Wharton 
of  Kellorth,  descended  from  an  ancient  family  located  in  the  parish  of 
Orton,  Westmorlandshire,  England,  who  came  to  this  country,  arriving  at 
Philadelphia  about  1683.  He  married  Jan.  20,  1688,  Rachel  Thomas,  bom 
Sept.,  1664,  in  Monmouthshire,  Wales,  died  1747. 

Joseph  Wharton  was  the  youngest  of  eight  children.  He  was  a  suc- 
cessful merchant,  acquired  a  considerable  fortune,  retired  from  active 
business,  and  lived  for  years  in  his  country  mansion  called  "Walnut  Grove," 


€tje  ?i?l)arton  larancl) 


near  the  Delaware  River  below  the  city,  located  about  the  present  site  of 
Fifth  Street  and  Washington  Avenue.  Here  was  the  scene  of  the  famous 
"Meschianza,"  a  grand  fete  given  by  the  British  officers  in  honor  of  their 
general  Sir  William  Howe.  This  occurred  in  May,  1778,  during  the  Revo- 
lution, and  soon  after  the  death  of  Joseph  Wharton,  who  died  July  27, 
1776.  The  house  was  removed  in  1862.  The  site  is  now  occupied  by  "the 
Wharton  School-house." 

Joseph  Wharton  married,  secondly,  June  7,  1752,  Hannah,  widow  of 
John  Ogden,  and  daughter  of  Robert  Owens  by  his  wife  Susanna  Hudson, 
and  had  by  the  second  wife  seven  children,  who  do  not  belong  to  this 
descent. 

The  coat  of  arms  of  the  Wharton  family  is-  Arms — sable,  a  maimch

He  was  a  successful  merchant  of  large  means  and  influence.  He  was  at  first  very  much 
opposed  to  the  oppressive  measures  of  the  British  government,  and  was  a  signer  of  the  Non- 
importation Resolutions  of  1765.  He  was  opposed  still  more  to  the  resort  to  arms,  and  soon 
became  an  object  of  suspicion.  In  August,  1777,  he  was  arrested  with  several  other  Friends,  who, 
on  their  refusal  to  sign  a  parole,  were  e.xiled  to  V^irginia.  He  was  allowed  to  return  to  Philadel- 
phia in  April,  1778,  but  was,  however,  proscribed  for  his  opposition  to  the  Revolution,  and  "lost 
his  estate  under  the  Confiscation  Act  of  Pennsylvania."  * 

Several  letters  written  by  Preston  Carpenter  to  his  cousin  Thomas  Wharton  before  the 
Revolution,  from  Salem,  N.  J.,  to  Philadelphia,  on  business  affairs,  are  in  the  papers  of  the  Car- 
penter family.    Preston  Carpenter  was  the  son  of  Samuel  Carpenter,  2d.

"He  was  one  of  the  signers  of  the  Non-importation  Resolutions  of  1765,  a  member  of  the 
City  Councils  of  Philadelphia,  of  the  Committee  of  Safety  of  the  Revolution,  and  of  the  Colonial 
and  State  Legislatures."  He  was  a  merchant  and  partner  in  the  firm  of  "Baynton,  Wharton  and 
Morgan."  At  one  time  the  Indians  destroyed  nearly  £40,000  worth  of  goods  belonging  to  them, 
and  as  an  indemnification  the  chiefs  of  the  Six  Nations  agreed  to  make  over  a  large  tract  of  land. 
This  land  bordered  on  the  Ohio  River  above  the  Little  Kanawha,  included  now  in  West  Virginia. 
Mr.  Wharton  was  sent  to  England  to  have  this  confirmed,  and  for  a  time  everything  seemed 
favorable,  and  a  day  was  appointed  to  attend  at  court  and  have  the  grant  confirmed.  In  the  in- 
terim some  correspondence  of  Mr.  Wharton  with  Franklin  had  been  discovered,  and  he  was 
forced  to  flee  for  his  life  to  France,  where  he  joined  Franklin.

about  1775,  and  while  there  wrote  a  number  of  letters  on  the  attitude  of  Great  Britain  to  the 
Colonies,  and  these,  pubUshed  in  some  papers,  attracted  so  much  attention  that  Wharton  was 
forced  to  leave  the  country  hurriedly  to  insure  his  safety.

THE  MEREDITH  ARMS,  R.iDNOR,  WALES 


Reese  Meredith  was  a  native  of  Landegley,  Radnorshire,  bom 
about  1705.  His  father,  Reese  Meredith,  was  a  woollen  merchant,  grand- 
son of  Richard  Meredith,  justice  of  the  peace  and  high  sheriff  of  Radnor- 
shire, of  an  ancient  line  in  that  section  of  Wales.  After  the  death  of  his 
father  in  1729,  Reese  Meredith  came  to  Philadelphia  (in  February',  1730), 
and  eventually  established  an  extensive  mercantile  business,  which  was 
successful  and  lucrative.  Later  he  took  into  partnership  his  son  Samuel 
and  son-in-law  George  Clymer,  the  firm  being  known  as  "Meredith  &  Sons." 
Reese  Meredith  became  an  influential  and  much-esteemed  citizen  and  a 
prominent  member  of  the  "Society  of  Friends." 

His  town  residence  was  located  on  the  comer  of  Second  and  Walnut 
Streets,  and  he  owned  a  country  seat,  called  "Green  Hills,"  of  many  acres

George  Washington,  when  the  latter  was  in  Philadelphia  on  business  con- 
cerning the  Indians,  as  an  ofificer  in  the  service  of  the  Colony  of  Virginia. 
Reese  Meredith  invited  Washington  to  dine  with  him,  and  formed  a 
friendship  which  lasted  until  Meredith's  death,  and  was  inherited  to  a 
considerable  extent  by  his  son  Samuel. 

In  1572,  in  the  reign  of  Queen  EHzabeth,  a  coat  of  arms  was  con- 
firmed to  Edward  Meredith,  son  of  Griffith  Meredith,  and  grandson  of

John  Read  lost  his  fiancee  by  sudden  death,  and,  seeking  an  entire  change,  crossed  the  ocean 
to  Maryland.  He  purchased  lands  in  that  section  and  likewise  in  Delaware,  erected  a  fine  mansion 
in  Cecil  County,  Maryland,  and  assisted  in  the  founding  of  Charlestown  at  the  head  of  Chesa-

Mary,  married  Gunning  Bedford,  and  the  sons,  George,  Thomas,  and  James,  all  became  men  of 
eminence. 

Commodore  Thomas  Read  was  a  distinguished  naval  officer  in  the  Revolution,  and  Colonel 
James  Read  was  promoted  from  first  lieutenant  to  colonel  for  gallant  ser\-ices  at  the  battles  of 
Trenton,  Princeton,  Brandywine,  and  Germantown,  and  afterwards  rendered  valuable  service 
in  the  navy. 

The  line  that  concerns  us  is  through  the  senior  son,  George  Read,  born  Sept.  17,  1733.  In 
1754  he  removed  to  Newcastle,  Del.,  and  on  Jan.  11,  1763,  married  Gertrude,  daughter  of  the

first  Constitution  of  Delaware  in  1 776.  Had  been  a  member  of  the  Assembly  1 2  years  and  was  vice- 
president  of  the  State.  After  the  adoption  of  the  Constitution  he  was  elected  U.  S.  Senator  from 
Delaware,  and  re-elected  thereto.  Resigned  in  1792  and  accepted  the  office  of  Chief  Justice  of 
Delaware,  which  he  held  until  his  death,  Sept.  21,   1798. 

He  lived  in  a  handsome  colonial  mansion  at  Newcastle,  Del.,  and  had  three  sons  and  one 
daughter.  The  sons  were  men  of  distinguished  merit  and  record.  Of  these,  John  Re.\d  removed
